Got some more shaping to do on the top. Not sure how I'm going to finish it yet. Can you put renaissance wax over poly?

For discussing woodworking with hand tools. Machines are fine but we focus on the manual techniques here: Carving, joining, Sloyd/Slöjd/Sløyd/Sløjd, spring-pole lathe turning, planing, shaving, bending, basketry, etc. All levels of experience are welcome.

Did you go all the way to making a shaving horse and using draw knives and stuff? It looks like the chair making rabbit hole can get pretty deep.
I've been looking into and reading about it. It looks pretty easy to make your own shave horse. I bought some super cheap draw knives and need to learn how to sharpen. I think all the green woodworking and chair making stuff is really neat. I just don't really love the way most staked furniture looks.
