So somehow in all of this hard work I failed to take pictures of my hardest parts. I had to hand shape each leg with a rasp and file. I have them all round and sanded up to the joints, I leave the joints square and will grind them round when the chair is glued up. Each leg took me about an hour to an hour and a half to shape. The sanding took just as long. I also had to turn on the lathe the straight stretcher. So the legs are shaped the stretchers are shaped. The next step was to drill the holes for the stretchers and glue it all up. Getting the front stretcher to fit was really difficult because of the curve. But with a little adjustments I was able to get it all to fit nicely.
