A Woodworking Podcast 
Gentlemen,
I am in the final stages of completing a bow arm Morris Chair and requisite foot stool. The motivation for this project was sipping Scotch. It is made of QSWO a with turned walnut pegs for the recliner and seat adjustments. The upholstery will be a simple full grained black leather which should play nicely with the medullary rays and quarter sawn grain of the white oak. I am currently completing the finishing (BLO, 2 coats, #0000 steel wool between costs) and sub assembly glue ups and beginning the upholstery process. Its been a long, educational, frustrating and yet rewarding project and I am looking forward to commissioning the chair. I would appreciate some opinions on the commissioning process:
1. What tumbler should I get? I personally like the Rauk Heavy Tumbler. I figure Kyle would have a good recommendation.
2. What Scotch is preferable for a Morris Chair Commissioning? (Again a Kyle thing)
3. Up or Rocks? (Kyle)
4. What is the appropriate attire? I hate to over dress but would consider putting on my Sunday best for this event.
5. What Music? I would pick some smooth piano bar jazz (Bill Evans)
6. Do I need to practice first by watching Nick Offerman’s Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Video?
I am considering playing the Offerman video during the commissioning kind of like training wheels.
I appreciate any input.
Kind Regards,
A loyal listener and new patron
