The Stool Projects #3

Well done for a hand cut. I’ve never seen a half lap on an edge joint – that’s quite unusual. I suppose it could be a very large box joint ..butI guess you can call it whatever you want. It’s your design! Is that the finish that your 6 year old added already? or is there more to come? I like it in any case. Small projects can be so satisfying – quick results and in many cases these projects will be around for decades and take on more history than any large piece. Keep up the experimenting and the learning!

I like it!!
Your style of joint gives the stool character. very artistic, in my opinion.

Addie must love it.

Steve – That’s Addie’s finish all right. She just adds to it when she gets an artistic urge. I hope you’re right about the stool being around for decades. I seem to have a very strong desire to make things that will last and I’m sure it will affect all my design choices.

MsDebbieP – You’re too kind. I never thought of being artistic. Addie loves new stools and things because she gets to decorate them.

Thanks again,

I had to go back and have another look at Addie’s designing… I can see her as a teenager still adding those special touches to her stool—it will probably be purple and black at some point in its life.

It may get colored and sanded and colored and sanded into toothpicks if I get lucky! LOL
