I had some time today to work on the chair. I evaluated a horizontal support on the back legs and decided against it. I used a rough toothed rasp to round out the edges of the boards then followed up with coarse grit sandpaper in the pad sander. In the end, everything was sanded down nicely.
Once all that was complete, I washed everything down to remove the fine layer of sawdust that coated the chair. It was at that point that I read the application instructions on the water sealant and learned that I need 50 degree temps for 48 hrs after application and a well-ventilated area.
Looks like the chair will be shelved for a few months until the temps rise enough to seal the wood. In the meantime, I'll take measurements to create drawings to replicate the final product should that ever be necessary.
