My first stool....clean as a whistle.

Wow this is amazing love the design and super build.

The textured top, carried through the wedged legs (? – the darker circles) is fabulous. And the simplicity of the design and the style of the legs add a wonderful sense of elegance, as well.

Nice project!

You’re right, it’s as clean as a whistle. Super elegant!

I like the textured top. It would keep someone like me from slipping off!

I must not be very observant because I do not see any obvious flaws. Great work.

Love the texture! Great job.

Very nice workmanship I like the textured look! Does the texturing cause any issues if you sit on it for long periods of time?

Thanks for the appreciation guys.
@rdlaurance: your right the dark circles is the end grain of the legs.
@nobuckle: The flaws I refer to are probably more prominent to me but I figure if anybody notices they’ll know I know as well, that’s mainly why I added the caveat.
The few that I didn’t hide by the camera are(1)the one leg I made noticeably slimmer than the others is on the right in the front…I was going to take another picture to hide it because I’m putting it in my portfolio for a resume and an application for a scholarship, but I figured it shows I need practice and that’s why I’m applying to the specific job and school.
The second is the seat if you look at the bottom it has a flat spot where the router chipped out the long grain…I rasped and sanded it to try and blend it in but it still bothers me. The third is the line around the chip carving is irregular, it’s also a bit hard to see but is noticeable by how light is become on the right.
Fourth is the wedges in the legs don’t quite line up to center. the upper left and lower right show this more that the reverse. There are tons more but I don’t want to pull the curtain of the old man with the loud speaker just yet.
@RetiredCoastie: yes….yes it does….the imprint last four days, three if you wear pants. : )

That’s a cool piece! Lots of character and very clean and sharp. I like it…..............

Very well done, I really like the top too!

Looks wonderful to me. I like the chip carving, which gives it character and the legs contribute to the overall design nicely.
