  1. Armchair

    Armchair I made last year of maple, birch and a Brazilian wood I forgot the name of.

    Mission Dining Build #5 - Armrest Fitment Here are the steps I use to fit an armrest to the armchairs. As usual start with a mortise. Use a sanding stick that is nearly as wide as the mortise. Attach 100 grit sandpaper to only one side of the sanding stick. Use the sanding stick at a...
