Worked on the front legs of the rocker today, and I must say this has been the hardest process yet. The starting point was on the right and off the grinder form is on the left:
Once off the grinder had to use a #8 carving chisel to "bring out the round half" of the leg-the part that's not in the joint:
I worked on this for a good portion of the day and only got this far:
so I've still got a fair amount of shaping "into the joint" to perform but it was a good start and I believe 2/3rd's of the work on the front legs. So here's what the chair looks like today;
Tomorrow-more of the front legs and moving on to the arm rests.
Until then-pura vida
