Bub Chair Progress
A jig had to be made to bend the wood around. This is one of two for this chair, made out of MDF and bent ply wood.
Here are both jigs
This is the smaller one, the cutouts from the sides allow for clamps to be used.
The first few layers of wood clamped and glued around the first jig.
The result of the first glue up!
Testing how the second jig fits.
The wood had to be steamed and bent over both jigs and is drying roughly in place.
This is the final glue up!
I think I used all the clamps in the building.

Proud of my crazy in progress chair.
This is how it looked once the jigs were removed.
I took the whole chair to the band saw and cut it down to the proper size. I also cut the excess wood from the top.
Now, to cover the edges!
Rough cut of the veneer, will then use a router to get it to size.
One last clamp up
Sanding down the veneer before varnishing it.
Look how clean and shiny it turned out
This shows how to sit in the chair.
Final photos!
