Arts & Crafts / mission Limbert footstool

I like the style, like the look, like the wood and admire that really nice craftsmanship. Mortise & tenon joinery sure makes a piece look clean and neat. Noticed the snow in the background. We had snow here in Houston, TX yesterday, but it did not stick. No big surprise there.

Beautifully done, great finish and excellent job on the leather upholstery.

I’m a little bit indifferent with two knob pulls for small drawer. Cannot deny it adds to great details and more balance look., In reality, one seldom use both hands to pull a drawer. It’s just my view in general, do not mean to critsize your great work.

Beautiful footstool.

nicely done!

Thasnks everyone.

The reason for the 2 pulls is that it is historically correct from the original.
I do believe that 1 would have done the job but that is not the way it had been done.
Thanks,

Greg

Very nice! I’ve been hesitant to spring for Craftsmen Hardware because of their prices, but you can’t deny they make great stuff. May I ask what finish recipe you used? BTW, your wife did a great job too. Nice teamwork.

I don’t see a Morris chair among all your other Arts & Crafts projects, so what’s the footstool sitting in front of? Was the footstool a warm-up project for a chair? You’ve definitely got the skills.

Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail… both the woodworking and the leatherwork!

I too am curious about your finish?

What are the dimensions of this piece?

Nice work! What’s next?

That is nice all the way around. The hand crafted hardware, the design, and the leather really adds a nice quality to it.

That is truly a beautiful piece. Great design, and nothing beats nicely figured oak! Thanks for sharing…

Very nice. BOTH of you did a great job!

Hi Greg,

Very nice work. I would really appreciate it if you could give some detail on your finishing technique.

Thanks,
Danr

Both you and your wife did a good job!
