A beautiful yet comfortable bar stool designed and built to last generations. With its hand sculpted seat and great lumbar support you’ll never want to get up.

Shown in Canadian Cherry approximately 21”W x 20”D x 33”H

This is Scott Morrisons design I purchased the templates and video for the contemporary bar stool. I then modified his design by removing the arms adjusting the curve on the back rest, but the most significant design change was to sink the Maloof joint of the front leg completely into the seat, made a much more clean flowing feel and look. As well it saves a bit of width room at your counter or bar.

The wood is local Canadian black cherry that was milled and kiln dried locally, I’ve had it for about 2 years and I’m extremely happy with the lumber. What character!

You can see the build process of these stools on my blog

Thanks as always for having a look, keep your blade in the wood.

these are very classy, the lines flow very well into the joinery and the contrasting end grain with the long grain really adds to celebrating the whole work, the wood is beautiful, and you have done it justice, without a doubt…

Love sculpted furniture – - you do fine work. seems like a comfortable seat to sit and chat at the breakfast bar. The shaping of the footrest adds a touch of flair to the piece.

Thanks, these were the first cherry stools I’ve done, I’m really happy with how this type of furniture shows off the grain.

Great looking stools. I’ve got the plans and template for the low dining chair. I’m going to build a set of 6 and a live edge slab table to go with them. After looking at your stools, I may extend the legs a little and make a shop stool for my shop. The only people who can afford a shop stool like that are either rich or woodworkers. In some ways, I’m a poor woodworker, in other ways I’m very rich!
