A week of 11.05-11.09

The footstool workshop has been going on and I had time to catch it up.
The front two legs, the pad and slipper were done and transitional pieces were cut and glued up.
I carved the trifit and began to work on the ball and claw.


++
A full scale drawing of the tambour desk was prepared and got comments from Lance.
It seemed I got approval. ;-)
I will make revised drawings of both digital and full scale this weekend and start building it next week.
