Hello all..
Finally back on to SawMill after a moving hiatus to Santa Fe, NM.
Wife got a bit tired of me building dark wooded furniture: Walnut, Mahogany, etc... So decided to built this chair...
I still have my Akeda DC-16. Don't use it any more as the house is FULL of furniture; no mo' room "she who is to be obeyed" says. Willing to part with it.

Thank you John K Jordan and others for your undivided advice regarding my questionable 1/2 hp Excelsior Lathe. Going slowly, patiently and using sharp tools, I have prevailed. Used Maple and...

Hmmnn..didn't see that when I got there last week. Instead was directed to try Cichipate (a bit close to teak.. heavy and oily.; $4.99 bdf; however must admit NOT too good for furniture. It easily...

Thank you

Thank you Timothy for the recommendation.. :) Could you suggest a reliable parts provider of such chuck? Thank you.

I've decided to chose Chichipate lumber from Woodworkers sources in Phoenix. Basic information is available on this wood, it also has some oil content and is heavy. Was encouraged to give it a try as...
Thank you Gentlemen for all the input. Lathe isn't arrived yet and will let you know soon. One more question: Since the Excelsior does not come with a variable Chuck. Do you think that:...
"Curious how you deduce the quality comparisons on the lathes while not owning any of them.". Sorry for my overreaction.. correct and not having had one yet. It's on the way! Browsed multiple...
Thank you JKJ. Much appreciated for your input. While I am an experienced wood worker but have yet to own a wood lathe. Agree: sharpness of tools and of course gentle control with your tools. Will...

Yes, Mark, have considered it. Thanks... still trying to figure of how many BDF (+-) to get for this chair. Don't want to overdo $$$. Always prefer actual lumber boards (less $ per BDF) where I plane...
