I woke up (a little hung over) this morning and cooked my rear posts. I am following Drew Langser's book but making the chairs a little bigger and I used the lathe rather than hand shaping the parts.
The posts were turned green from a tree that fell a couple of weeks ago. The pieces were split, chucked and turned to cylinder using the copy feature on my lathe. Then I hand turned the top and bottom tapers and cut the tops of the posts lengthwise on the bandsaw. Final shaping of the post was done with a spokeshave.
Now I have to wait for the posts to dry.....
