Very nice! I like the step supports.

Very nice!!!! Cherry is my favorite wood with which to work. This one has such a nice patina to it.

Thanks for the post.

Very nice stool. I love shaker design and like Scott said, cheryy was a great choice for the material.

I love Shaker furniture. The simplistic nature really appeals to me. I had to go out and buy some Shaker music for playing in the shop when I am working on Shaker pieces. If everyone followed the “Hands to work and hearts to God” principal of the Shakers, we would have no worries about things we buy being destroyed so easily.

You obviously have a great deal of pride in your work. Keep up the great work!

I love the cherry and the piece overall…how’s this all joined up?

Great looking step stool. The cherry is really nice, the design is nice – the stool is nice – good job.

Those joints/dovetails look perfect and the finish is outstanding. Exceptionally good. Nice work.

the steps and cross members are nailed, as were many shaker pieces. the half d-t’s add mechanical strength.
