    Wongo, Its all been said, but I'll say it again anyway.

    That turned out really well Scott.

    Like I said to you, rocking chairs don't really do it for me but I can still apreciate a very good piece of work.

    Well done mate.

    Excellent work Wongo. The Sydney Blue Gum comes up great under an oil finish.

    Wongo - I'm about to order some Blackwood for The Rocker - what's a rough cutting list? THe seat is 2" (8/4) and I think his back legs are 2 1/4? The back is from 2 1/2 I think.

    SM uses a different mix fo rthe final coats - are you going to bother with this?

    TK,

    The one I used was 3.3cm thick. I had to make changes in different places though. But yes, get the 2” if you can. I would like to know how much it costs you.

    I am thinking of a new design at the moment. I will have a break and have another go. We’ll see.

    The final 2 coats are a mix of tung oil, linseed oil and wax but I will just use Ubeaut wax.

    Let me know if you need anything.

    Cheers

    Thumbs up

    I went to see BobR today and WOW Bob is a professional.

    These images come from my no-brain digital camera and they still look fantastic. I can’t wait to see the real thing.

    Thanks again Bob.

    Great pics Wongo!

    So I've been thinking. (ouch!)

    You've made a rocking horse, and a rocking chair, what's next?

    A rocking......?

    With pictures like that, you can now charge $5000 for that chair

    What about sending a pic in to the readers' contributions of FWW?
