Walnut Stool

That is pretty. I have glued up a few pieces of walnut that are waiting to become a bench very simular to this, but after drying I found that one of the would be legs has a crack in it.

Great looking bench.

Great stock selection for the top…I bet the picture doesn’t begin to do it justice. Good work!

That is fantastic looking! Excellent choice of lumber for the top.

Man, that wood is too pretty to step on!

A really nice piece and a lot more work than many will think.

Nice job giving that unique piece of wood a nice display for the next 100 years or so.

The figure in the top is gorgeous. The maple wedges add a really nice detail to the piece.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful job on bringing that grain out. That is nice. The wedges look good too.

Well, right after looking at the pics, I was gonna say, “Now that’s a sturdy stool!” But, then I read the description and figured it may be a bit redundant to say that considering it is ” A Sturdy Footstool.” Istill managed to sneak it in there though – you see…

Good looking stool!

what a nice little stool. i like how you used tenons with the maple to create more ‘fine furniture’ than just a functional stool. and as everybody said that is some beautiful walnut figure. nice job!

Wow, the top is gorgeous!!
