Glad I finally tried this.
For all those chairs you may have around in need of repair, or for finishing a new one, I was surprised how: well this works, how good the stuff looks and how easy it was to do.
I am making three chairs for our cottage kitchen island. I turned the pieces for this Shaker style chair out of some white oak logs. Instead of using cloth tape I thought I would try a method using inner tree bark.
I know that hickory is a good choice if you have it available and I suspected Ash is as well – and I have a lot of that around, so these will be Ash. Once dry the lock-knots hold perfectly and there is not one tack in the whole process.
