| Stop dadoes for the armrests made. |

| Parts cleaned up and round-cornered on the router table. |

| Gluing up the rail and cross-member assembly. I'm using pieces of Gaboon Ebony as the wedges. You can see the Oak square I use in the second photo. |

| I scrounged every piece I could find in my lumber piles for this project. Because of the lack of lumber I had to glue up another main cross-member, as I made a mistake on the original one. Tite-bond III glue, which I use, is water proof so I'm not concerned, even though this is an outdoor project. In the pics above you can see the glue-up and the original piece, along with the mortise that I squared up. Originally it was out of square and consequently the tenon wouldn't fit square and snug. |
 |
| Some pics of assembly. I wait for the glue to set for each section before continuing. That's one advantage screws have over pegs I suppose. |

| First coat of 50/50 Tung Oil Turpentine mix.I'll check for any defects when this coat is dry and add 3 to 4 more coats. |
