Amazing watching your confidently aggressive cutting strokes followed by refined finishing cuts. Outstanding to watch! You have been my favorite craftsman to watch for many years. I am in awe! Thank you for putting out the best, most impressive work of anyone I have ever seen. Superb!!!
As with so many things, watching a craftsman work is like truly understanding why this is still an art. I can cut wood, shape odds and ends into an everyday usable piece of functioning furniture, but as of yet, I still have not become one with the tool as you fine craftsmen are. Thanks for the inspiration..
This guy is so talented at such a young age. It appears so easy to him and he never seems to make mistakes. It’s truly mind boggling how he can crank out multiple parts, beautifully in seemingly no time. His tools are surgically sharp, an art in itself! It makes your average joe woodworker look like a hack!
It is always a highlight of my day when I see a new project from you pop up on my screen. Beautiful work as always and the mahogany looked very nice quality - hard to find now. I have a good bit “squirreled” away waiting for the right projects to come up every now and then. Thanks for sharing, Steve
THANK YOU for showing so much spokeshave work! It is the coolest tool around, but I've never seen it used to the degree as it is in this video. I learned a ton just watching you work. - please keep making this type of content!
Pure magic you have mastered the use of hand tools and you can get them to perform to there maximum is beautiful to see. You have also mastered the dark art of tool sharpening. You're woodwork skills show no bounds. You're clients must be very very proud to own you're work. Your at the top end of furniture makers definitely in the top 3 in the world congratulations to you for such perfection.
A true legend a saviour and a super star of the art of perfect hand crafting a versatile master reviving epic traditional pieces to true lustre the future owners of these marvels also be applauded for possessing such treasures
I've watched most of your videos, I don't recall ever seeing a piece of sandpaper being used. I was taught that sanding opens the grane to accept finish and planning closes the grane. Is there any sanding before finishing? Or is it all hand planed first?
Dan Mayer, hey. I saw your comment and I am an Amish born and trained carpenter(who has since left home). We for the most part never use sandpaper just razor sharp hand tools. If anything sandpaper would close the grain because it is filling each pore with small particles of dust that would need to be carefully vacuumed or tacked off of the surface that is to be finished. On all of my projects I don’t touch sandpaper (outside of sanding between coats of finish) now and I think it gives a much better finish. I believe most people don’t do it this way because it requires a ton of skill and experience where sanding does not. This can also only be done on solid wood pieces. Any plywood would need a sanding to achieve a smooth finish. Also would like to say that this guy is an incredible craftsman and until you’ve practiced it a million times like he has you probably won’t get the same finish with the same tools. So if you wanted to try to do it like this I would suggest a very inexpensive material to start with until you get your sharpening and technique to the point where you make something you are happy with. Hope this helps a bit.
Doing a “One-Off” is one thing but knocking down identical Multiples is another animal requiring a discipline which most mortals never develop.

Beautifully done.There are very few people in the world that can do that.
Amazing craftsmanship and beauty..good to see all that detail and no CNC.
Appreciate it. Cause in 20 or so years CNC will take over 100%
witnessing this construction is a thrill

This is a lot of passion, hard work and love for the craft...
Nice collection of different Spokeshave sat work……
You are an artist who makes furniture. So awesome to watch you work.
Great work as always.

the carving on the chair back is unbelievable, especially the shell design at the top
Thanks! Glad you like it!

Soooo jealous of everything Doucette and Wolfe. Amazing furniture.
The best woodworking video on you tube. That mahogany carves beautifully.

Sad to hear about mahogany. It was one so free flowing you can snag it for free. Now its almost 700 for one slab.

Thanks. I am happy to, spokeshaves are fun tools.
As usual, this is not so much woodworking as it is wood mastery. Excellent job!!
After watching this i have to respect and appreciate the scroll saw. BEAUTIFUL WORK as ALWAYS! camt wait to see pt two of this 10-15k$ set
A little on the steep side saying 10-15k.
@@solidsnake9332 you mean each...
Solid Snake LOL. $15,000 does not come close to the price for these chairs. Much much much more.
Joe Basement Woodworking & DIY .....no. Those 8 chairs are EASILY $75,000-$100,000

Looking forward to part 2! Thank you :)

Given the ease with which your edge tools cut, I'd love to see a video on your sharpening procedures.
Me too.
Quality! Patience guides the hand of the craftsman...

Very nice. What furnitute style are these chairs?
Chippendale
what type of plane is that you are using to do the concave and convex bends in the crest and splat?
Would you consider a sharpening video?
It would be great to know what finish you applied. Great work!
Aniline dye and Shellac
I used Royal Lac from shellacfinishes.com
For an American client?
