Home stretch


This is the first dry-fit with all the rungs, arms and the front and back in place. The cauls are mounted on a 1/4" MDF base and are cut to an angle that compliments the angled sides. This gives me square, parallel surfaces for the clamps. 




Before disassembly, I rest the curved backrest blank on the top of the back legs to catch the angle for its mortise. 




This is the last dry-fit before glue-up. I cut the slots for the rockers and shaped the tops of the legs and backrest. Here I'm checking the fit of the backrest in its angled mortises.
