Where I make three stools for the kitchen and this is my 300th time the internet has published me.
Three bonus pics right out of the gate.
Our missing band member Jules came back from Washington for a brief visit and we jam.
And courtyard Kabocha resting on a plate from Morocco.
Anyway back to the stools. Usual color palette of wood, metal and leather. We had a discussion as to whether I was to make three or four stools. So glad we arrived at three. I guess I just don't saddle up very well to production type projects.
Legs having a compound cut.
Differing arrangements of the aprons.
A discerning viewer would take note of seeing use of dowel joints for the first time in 300 blog posts.
Gluing the base and the cushion supports taking place.
To add some visual interest on the back of the seat backs I hand cut some compound angles.
A quick run to the Hide House in Napa for some veg tan 5oz leather.
Honing a Japanese leather knife that I bought from Yamasuke in Japan.
Rolled some steel on Ken's custom sized rolling machine.
Enough of this, onto the finished stools.
Since this is the 300th post, you'll get another Bonus Pic!
Shaft of light showing the feet of the Sycamore Cabinet.
