This stool is featured in the latest Fine Woodworking magazine.

In this 5-day workshop, students will learn to build a contemporary counter stool that combines precise machine work for the legs and stretchers with a hand-shaped seat and footrest. Featured in the most recent issue of Fine Woodworking Magazine, this shapely stool is a great project to learn mortise and tenon joints, both through tenons and floating tenons to connect the legs to the solid wood seat. Students will have lots of practice with the band saw to cut the legs, seat and footrest, and will also gain experience with a hollow chisel and slot mortiser. The seat is shaped with a compass plane, and students will use carving gouges and round bottom planes to shape the cove under the seat. Tim will provide a detailed, measured drawing for each student and jigs to aid in the making.
