MAKING THE SEAT

To make the seat I glued four pieces of plywood together with a large circle cut from the bottom piece to hide the metal joins underneath. When these were dry I turned the piece on the Lathe to get my desired shape. This was a slight curve dipping in from the edges to the center. After I had shaped the seat I sanded it down starting at sand paper grain P60 working all the way to P320. Then I applied a couple of coats of bees wax to finish.
