Kingston Library Work Continued

Well, we're still working away on the Kingston Library project. The chairs are 99% finished, except for a little more finishing work and the highly anticipated branding event using our new branding iron (see photo below). The upholstery work is completed and the seats look nice. We still need to get a photo with the upholstered seats in the chairs. I'll try to get one and post again soon. The table columns have been turned and the cutting and fitting of the legs are well underway. The tops are all glued up and are now with CNC Router Solutions in Dover to get cut into circles and the edge profiles shaped. We've also scoured northern New England and the great North Woods looking for some nice birds-eye maple to make the conference room table top. Our normal suppliers didn't have what we needed, so we ended up searching elsewhere. I travelled to Rumford, Maine last weekend and visited Premium Specialty Hardwoods. Nice selection of figured maple and other domestic wood, but they just didn't have what we needed at the time. So Gary and I went on a road trip to Vermont where we finally found what we wanted. We picked up a number of nice boards at a reasonable price. We missed our turn on our way back and ended up crisscrossing through south western New Hampshire on a nice afternoon. Good road trip and we got to see a part of the state that we rarely visit. Really pretty. I didn't get a photo of the wood yet, but will have to post one soon. It will be nice! Action photos of our recent work are below!
