Woodworking and router projects you can do, make a Celtic chair. I do like making these as theyre easy and can be done with minimal tooling and even timber from pallets. This one made from a slab of pine that I bought from the local sawmill in rough sawn format. Either Nordic spruce or Douglas fir its been stacked up for about a year now slowly drying out.

I wanted the celtic knot raised rather than sunken, I used the Makita with a 60 degree v bit to define all the edges, high speed running but with slow and steady techniques does it. Then i used the 3mm single flute around the design and the Hitachi with the 10mm double flute to chase out the rest of the work where i wouldnt destroy too much detail.

Burnt with the small handheld pen torch, leave the paper on and then sand it off with a belt. Be careful you dont snag the belt on the edges.

A simpler design! Straight 90 cuts on the slot and the chair, not as laidback but still very comfortable.

Sometimes called a celtic, gothic, or medieval chair the origins are unknown but possibly of african origin. If you are actually looking for viking style chairs google Lund and Oseberg chair for better results in this field.
