This was an experiment on joints, the teacher said make a stool with 3 joints, so I made 40+ joints on this stool. All the wood in this class was paid for by the tuition. At a cost 300$, I used about 800$ worth of Maple. The class required 3 completed prejects I made 28 projects. It sure was fun!!

This is a prime piece of experimental joinery. The design is original (to my eye anyway). Excellent work.

This really is a wonderful design, I can picture a lounge chair with your slats flowing from end to end…even rolling over each end as this piece does. I’m wondering how you could incorporate the coopered pieces you do with this..keep it up!
