Ya know, every once in a while that high schooler might hit one over the fence...even against the Yankees.
The chair is looking real good, Allen. More ambitious than any flatwork I've done.
One possible fix for the chess board corners would be to cut a saw kerf following your 45º miter cuts (essentially enlarging the gap that's there now), then fill the gap with a slice of contrasting wood. You could turn the error into a feature.
ya know, that is a great option, never even thought about it.
Its tough to just cut a slice out of this stuff, but I could cut an oversized piece to fill in whatever I cut out, and keep trimming or sanding till it jammed in snug.....thankyou for the idea. I used the recommended finish for Ipe, messimers UV made especially for Ipe decks. I coated the top before, wanted to see how it looks all coated up. If the gaps are still too noticable, I will cut out a small triangle end and put one in on each side of it to make it look like it was an intentional design. Wish I would have had this idea before I coated it........thanx again.
