Inspired by Japanese “wabi-sabi” rustic furniture, this rather short (about 15” high) stool has a 2” thick willow seat, and Eastern Red Cedar legs and spindles.
The legs are attached with 3” double-ended wood screws and secured with PL Premium glue. All parts are finely sanded (320 grit) so that it not only looks but also feels creamy.
No finish has been applied yet, but will most likely receive no stain, only a satin laquer finish to seal the surface.

A cute little stool, almost like the milk stools at my Grandma’s farm.
Only much nicer.

Welcome to LJs….This is a great little project that has given me some ideas for similar pieces of wood that I have been saving . How did you attach the legs ? Tenons or dowels or what ? Thank you : )

Just love the honesty of rustic. I don’t know anything about a tradition of Japanese rustic, but it sounds interesting.
