A little stool for a good friend helping me with my workshop addition.
He’s got a low center of gravity and doesn’t like the other stools in the shop.
Sparing no expense I got out the chainsaw and “sculpted” a cedar slab.
Legs are a little dead cedar with a 1 1/8” tenon.
Legs are set at 7 degrees and glued and wedged with pine wedgies.
Legs were cut off on my sawmill ( l j buddy Hal’s idea ) for a custom fit to his exacting specs.
He’s happy and I’m happy to have his help!
thanks for looking

It’s a wood shop. People get splinters in a wood shop. If it’s my shop, I expect to bleed some while I am in there. Man up!
I think it’s a great stool.

Monte, it is easy to man up to a few slivers, but thinking of their location and who would have to pull them out,
I think I would opt for the belt sander and a coat or two of shellac at the least. Great looking shop, and I am
sure your and your helper will be spending a little time there. Thank you for sharing.

Cool! I have done a lot of high finesse detailed work, and I still love this simple happy solid style of woodworking. My favorite to build and to have and use!
