Building the backrest

The first step of the project is to build the backrest for the viking chair. Mark the cut lines on the 2×12 slats and get the job done with a saw. Make sure you round the exposed corners for an extra appeal. Smooth the edges with fine-grit sandpaper and remove the residues with a damp cloth.

Drill starting holes and use a jigsaw to cut out the opening. Smooth the edges with sandpaper.
