I built this Shaker stool, and it has been sitting around with no set in it for a month or so. All the parts were turned on the lathe. Getting all of the parts to match each other was harder than I thought it would be. It is built out of cherry, and was finished with oil and a wipe on poly. I could not decide on using cane or shaker tape for the seat. I was walking around a craft store this weekend, and discovered some poly cord that had the colors we were wanting to use. I’m not much of a weaver, but this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think.

Greg, Tht is a good example of a Shaker stool. The weaving looks real well done as well. However, I don’t usually say anything like this but….. I would prefer some other material for the top. I hope you consider that in the way it was intended. But that’s just me. If this is what you want, it’s fine. It certainly will work well and never wear out.
