I’d like to try sculpting a higback lounge chair with arm supports from a single piece of wood, but I have zero experience with this. Any tips, suggestions, useful links?
I would like to use maple, but not sure if it has the right characteristics. Want to avoid cracking, and any other ill effects over time.
