Thanks, Ken! John, I appreciate the kind words. I’m not sure these pics will help with what you are wanting to see, but here they are. The drawer sides have a 1/8” groove and the runners that are screwed to the chair have a 1/8” slide that rides in the groove.
The chair has three coats of milk paint, rubbed out with a fine abrasive pad, followed by 3 coats of poly on the whole chair and an additional three coats on the seat and paddle, each of which were sanded between coats with 600 grit.
