Just some time off work to spend in our shops? Or maybe you dream of taking a course at one of the many great woodworking schools around the country? My vacation build consisted of traveling from Oklahoma to Iowa for a few weeks to meet an online friend and build a Maloof-style rocker together. Then I would come home via Kansas City for Woodworking In America 2015.<\/p>\n<p>What does this have to do with <a href=\"http:\/\/thewoodwhispererguild.com\">The Wood Whisperer Guild<\/a> you might ask?\u00a0 I have followed Marc\u2019s great videos for many years and joined the Guild about 3 1\/2 years ago so I could build the Split-Top Roubo Workbench.\u00a0 Since then I have gained so much from being a Guild member including both project plans and woodworking techniques.\u00a0 What I never thought I would gain from the Guild was friendship.\u00a0 When Marc and Nicole created the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/twwguild\/\">Guild Facebook Page<\/a> they hoped it would be a great place for fellow Guild members to meet up and share ideas and that\u2019s exactly what has happened for me.\u00a0 Last winter, I was searching the Guild FB page for ideas on building a bucket list project: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwhisperer.com\/videos\/greene-greene-blacker-house-chair\/\">the Blacker House Chair<\/a>.\u00a0 That search lead to becoming friends with fellow Guild member Tim Fuller.<\/p>\n<p>Tim and his family recently invited me to bring my 5th wheel trailer, my dog, a few tools and come spend some time with them in Iowa.\u00a0 What kind of crazy people do such a thing?\u00a0 Woodworkers who are crazy about advancing their skills and knowledge do these things. Tim and I are both life long hobbyist woodworkers; which has developed into a passion, or some might say an obsession, for building fine furniture.\u00a0 We decided it would be great if we could build something together.<\/p>\n<p>Early September, I hooked onto the camper and headed out on my 900 mile journey from southwestern Oklahoma to eastern Iowa.\u00a0 After arriving, I found that Tim had full RV hookups at his shop so I had a free place to stay. And diesel fuel is as cheap now as it has been in many years so the expense of this trip was actually minimal.<\/p>\n<p>Now working in another man\u2019s shop is a little like wearing someone else&#8217;s clothes. It took me a while to get into the swing of things to say the least.\u00a0 While Tim\u2019s shop is fully equipped and larger than mine, it\u2019s different. Different layout and different tools. Tim had already built two of the Maloof style rockers, similar to the one <a href=\"https:\/\/thewoodwhispererguild.com\/product\/sculpted-rocker\/\">Marc built in a recent Guild project<\/a>.\u00a0 I, on the other hand, had only built one chair: a G&amp;G Blacker House chair. Now before you ask who get\u2019s to keep the chair, it was a gift for someone in Tim\u2019s family. They paid for the walnut from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bellforestproducts.com\/exotic-lumber-projects\/sculpted-rocker\/\">Bell Forest <\/a>and we provided the labor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-leg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-46734\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/a8328fbdb4_front-leg-220x165.jpg\" alt=\"front leg\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-leg-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-leg-564x423.jpg 564w, https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/front-leg.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/a>Our chair build uses a different crest rail design and different back slats than those in the Guild chair; these are a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haltaylor.com\/\">Hal Taylor<\/a> design.\u00a0 The crest rail is made from several pieces of vertical grain wood coopered and glued together.\u00a0 We went with the coopered seat and carved a recess into the top of the arm rest so they hold your arms in place as you sit in the chair.\u00a0 The finish is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockler.com\/sam-maloof-s-finishes-sam-maloof-oil-wax-finish?sid=AFN86\">two-part oil and wax Sam Maloof finish from Rockler<\/a>.\u00a0 We worked on the chair for about 8 days and I spent a few days seeing the local sights.\u00a0 Tim\u2019s family has some land with trees and a 1940&#8217;s saw mill which they were kind enough to fire up one afternoon.\u00a0 It was very exciting for a flat land Oklahoma boy to see that process.\u00a0 And yes I brought home a big stash of fresh cut oak and ash.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/articles\/a-woodworking-vacation-and-the-tww-guild\/seat\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/e0aab4a590_seat-110x110.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/e0aab4a590_seat-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seat-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/articles\/a-woodworking-vacation-and-the-tww-guild\/arm\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/e0aab4a590_arm-110x110.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/e0aab4a590_arm-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/arm-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/articles\/a-woodworking-vacation-and-the-tww-guild\/chair\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"110\" height=\"110\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/6f1aeedc0a_chair-110x110.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/6f1aeedc0a_chair-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/thewoodwhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chair-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course you know when you spend that much time in someone&#8217;s shop, you come away with tool envy and for me that was Tim\u2019s Nova DVR XP lathe.\u00a0 And as luck would have it, I found a new Nova on a special sale that I couldn\u2019t refuse!<\/p>\n<p>I spent about 2 weeks with the Fullers then headed home via Kansas City for the WoodWorking in America event.\u00a0 This was my first time attending a woodworking show.
