Shaped the seat and assembled the parts, now I really regret that I used these log legs. Each time I tried to fix some unbalanced part, other impropriety comes up somewhere else. Oh well, that’s what I have to accept anyway, though.
And I finally decided to put extra support legs in front. Firstly because it was not steady enough for kids chair anyway ,and secondly I wanted to fix a warp with it. And it worked just fine. I don’t know how it looks with and without it yet, but it’s much steady that way.

Now I brought it to my son’s room and check the actual size of the chair with the desk. Hey, it looks just fine.

So now, I have to make the back. And little bit of adjustment of the warp. Maybe 2 more days???

I know what you mean about the log legs. Because they are not symmetrical you have to shape the ends by feel, and use the trial and error method. My “wabi-sabi” stool also has log legs and it was quite difficult to get the lengths and angles right. You were wise to attach the legs to skids, though I see that you use skids for all the furniture in order to protect your flooring (or tatami?).
So the only power tool you are using is a router, is that right? The only large power tool I have is a mitre saw. I think maybe my workspace is even smaller than yours. :)

Jeff,
Log legs were a difficult part… But now, after all done, I am glad that I chose the log legs, because it is the main character of the chair.
Well, I have some power tools other than a router. Circular saw, jig-saw, random sander… I really want a good table saw someday, but as you know, the working space is the problem….
