"crooked" stool No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

one of three stools i made for out daughter.

black walnut finished in danish oil

the “crooked” design was born out of a mistake. i mis-cut the original arch so rather than scrap it, i just let the band saw take over.

when i started these stools, the steelers where still in the playoff (wildcard)....FINALLY got around to finishing them off. shows how slow my production is.

just goes to show you the wood works never make mistakes, just design modifications.

Beautiful stool.

Nice save. Having seen the “Basic Stool” you posted, I like the mistake one a little better. It’s funny how mistakes can actually make some cool things happen. I hear you on slow production though. I’ve been refinishing a dining room table and chairs for over a year now. Sanding just isn’t high on my list, much to my wife’s dismay.

I like these, and concur with USCJeff, I like the one with ‘style’ better. :)

Yep, I’m with Jeff, I like the crooked one more than the basic one.. More character more unique.

Great job.

Nice save! I think this fits kids better anyway. They are a bit more free in their thinking than adults are. As we grow up we become more lineal and confined to the “box.”
