It’s true. I’m not a fine woodworker. I don’t’ have the tools, the shop, or the inclination. I use whatever wood I can get preferably soft and easy to work with. Some of it is purchased and occasionally I use junk wood when I come across any. I like the imperfect quality of the wood I use and construction which is a bit of the haphazard, rough measuring, sloppy gluing, and intentional rough construction to match the rough painting.
This chair will be painted and you can see where I added nails to help strengthen the glued joints. I usually inset the nails and fill the recesses with plastic wood but this time I’m going to leave them be. The chair is made completely with 1/2 inch square dowel.
