Cutting the kerfs to chisel out the waste for the back rails. Lots of little cuts, my Marples Japanese saw It's one of my favorite tools.
Paring out the waste.
The finished chair, all backslats installed and seat glued and pinned in place.
Here I am starting my finish, an "ebonizing technique" handed down by my furniture design professor, black shoe polish and paste wax. It doesn't look like an actual ebonized finish. If it didn't look so antique I would hate it, but I like how it turned out.
