In this video (part 2) Dave Heller continues showing the process for making historical cabriole chair legs out of pear wood. Dave is a furniture maker based in Charlottesville, Virginia, who specializes in Art Deco style furniture, and other historical furniture styles that incorporate marquetry and veneering.
Dave is also an instructor here at the Wood and Shop Traditional Woodworking School. You can watch a video about Dave and his furniture here on our website.

I like Dave Heller’s comments on efficient use of his time including avoiding doing something, such as sanding, twice. It’s a lesson the beginner often has to learn.
Yes, a great lesson!
