My wife is actively involved with the Garden Club.
Last year, at her request, I made one of these seats for her to include in the
Florida Garden Club's annual convention gift basket raffle.
It turned out to be very popular and generated more than half the money raised via their raffle.
When I made the first one, I had little turning experience and bought a dowel.
This year, I turned the dowels used in the legs and for the handle.
The magnolia tree is the Florida Garden Club's logo.
Starting with rough lumber, I jointed, planed and milled black cherry, black walnut, sapelle and quartersawn magnolia to make the seat shown below. It has one coat of oil
on it so far. When that cures, I'll add a three coats of Waterlox. I still need to turn the plugs that'll be used to cover the screws:
All comments welcome.
