Just completed these and wanted to share their story. First credit to LJ Brian Kim. My wife wanted me to make “saddle stools”. Well I didn’t even know what saddle stools are, so I googled them and that was my first contact with Lumberjocks. Anyway the pictures show the progression of this final product in reverse order going back over fifty years. These trees grew right beside our home and we removed them as part of our renovation project. The wood is oak and the stools are finished with linseed oil and citrus wax.

Those look great for not knowing what they were to begin with… Did you follow plans or are they your own design?
Great job and great use of materials.

Like most of my stuff, the design came from a picture, with my own variations (not all planned) :-)
