I always wanted to build a chair. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the thought of making something that I can use on a daily basis instead of something that sets in the corner holding stuff. Maybe it’s because a friend can come over and sit and relax. Whatever the draw was this is the end result. A Red Oak chair made 95% Neander. I learned a lot about mortise and tenons and grain direction. I tried removing waste on a few mortises with the drill but went back to the chisels. I just didn’t like the results as well. So here are some pics of my first chair. Now I’m going to go build something that sits in the corner and holds stuff. With no curves just straight and simple.
