Repairing a hickory and oak chair that was brought to me with a broken front leg.
Riven white oak leg, turned on the lathe then bent green in the form.
Marking the tenon on the top of the leg.
Splitting the waste from the tenon with a chisel.
Cleaning up the tenon with a rasp.
Workbench top with the leg and tools.
Drilling the holes for the stretchers with a brace.
The chair with its new leg.

Just a point of view artifact or could the pup use a new wooden leg also? Nice work.

Mike, no its not a camera trick. His leg was taken by his white whale- a silver 3/4 ton GMC.
