Mart,

Nice looking stools! Very functional and SAFE!

If you used contrasting wood colors, through tenons on the side to top joint would look neat and be very strong. Also, a dovetail connection between the stretchers and sides would look nice but would probably need to be hand cut because the side/stretcher intersection is not perpendicular.

Just some thoughts.

Very nice, that is a great looking stool.

I would probably try a mortice and tenon joint of some sort if you wanted to eliminate using mechanical fastners. I haven’t tried them much but I like the loose tenons because they are easy to fit. Through mortice and tenons look good but I haven’t tried one yet.

Nice stool. On the one hand, if it ain’t broke (your design) don’t fix it. On the other hand, it’s always good to experiment and learn new techniques.

well thought out posting.

might try a bisquit joiner

big brass screws would look nice too.

I like the dovetail and tenon idea. I think I could cut the dovetail with my router table. I have never tried angled through tenons. It’s off to the shop to experiment!

How about a Wedged Through Tenon with contrasting woods species?
