From Fine Woodworking Issue #142
Richard B. Myers
A computer-aided design program was invaluable to Myers in figuring out the cut angles for the coopered top of this blanket chest. Cherry and bird's-eye maple are used in its construction. The chest, 19 in. deep by 43 in. wide by 22 in. high, is finished with wipe-on polyurethane (rubbed out with steel wool and rottenstone).

R.A. Laufer
"I was on my third plastic department-store desk chair with a wobbly seat," said Laufer, "when I decided it was time [to make a desk chair from wood]." The cherry chair, 21 in. deep by 26 in. wide by 46 in. high, is finished with oil. Swivel mechanisms similar to the one Laufer uses are available from Abacus (713-861-4011).

Pulverized pipestone (a heat-hardened, compacted red clay stone) mixed with epoxy was laid into routed grooves to make the inlay on this bookcase. The case, 14 in. deep by 66 in. wide by 31 in. high, is made of madrone and madrone burl and finished with a combination of varnish, tung oil and linseed oil.
