You know how when something goes wrong, we say “Wood hates you?” Well, this chair hates me. But I think this finish is going to work.

Update: Comments are now closed.

My Saturday goal is to get the final coat of paint on this chair. I just I assume it’s going to need a third coat after Friday’s second coat, because this chair hates me (this is General Finishes “milk paint” in Westminster Green – no longer available, unfortunately). But my other goal is to answer as many of your Jane Austen questions (just to change things up!), cat questions and woodworking questions as I can. Chris is busy teaching a class in making a peasant coffer (featured in his forthcoming book, “The American Peasant”), so he won’t have much time today to get on the computer.

You know the drill: Leave your questions in the comments field below (as always, brevity is appreciated), and I’ll answer (there will likely be a delay between your asking and my answering). Please hold your crazy metallurgy and arcane chair questions until next week.

Comments will close at around 5 p.m.

This is the coffer the students are making (they will, of course, choose – possibly create – their own spells). The finish is Allbäck linseed oil paint in Antique Gold (through which Chris carved after it was dry), topped with a coat of purified linseed oil.
