The stock for the posts, Plate XXXVII, should be mahogany, joined true to 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"', so as to work out the square part, and also to make it easier to turn.

Great care must be exercised in centering the ends so as to show no uneven margin around the square part, when the post has been turned.

Start to round up the stock in that part of the post where the foot spindle is to join, Fig. 61; work the back rest in place and turn each half separately, Fig. 57. When all turning and sandpapering on these two parts is complete, remove the back rest and finish the remaining part, Fig. 58.

The turning of the foot spindle is identical with that of the posts.

Plate XXXVII.
