I've been gone for a hot minute, between the new baby and work being super crazy, its been a tough slog. But I'm back, with my favorite project to date. A friend built a rocker not too long ago, which has been on my bucket list since i started this hobby a couple years ago. I figured it was out of my skill set for a while, but he ensured me that would not be the case. Now i wont say it was easy, but Hal Taylor has the best resources I've ever used, truly phenomenal. So I started in June and finished this week, I'd say conservatively 100 hrs into this guy. Its straight walnut, sanded to 1000 grit and finished in a single coat of 50:50 wipe on poly and mineral spirits. Its a christmas gift for my mom, so glad to get it out of my shop so early!
