Tall stapled stool..

I finished this stool over the holiday weekend..
Slender ash legs and a diagonal bracing.. Wedged through tenons hold the legs to the top..
Oiled up in the spring sunshine... ;b

Stapled Stool

I started cleaning up an old bit of oak that's been used as ballast below my workbench for the past few years this is going to be top of a stool..
It has a couple of shakes in it but they're stable.. So instead of cutting this part off I made some staples out of a copper boat nail..
The legs are ash which will give a nice contrast..;b

Taking It Further Still..

These legs from the last post were put together with the rails and top..
And I came up with a little multi use table.. So I took it further still and finished it... ;b

Taking It Further

So I started with an idea for a table I have the top a nice piece of rippled sycamore..
But I never had the legs and rails...
Some cherry was needing to be something so this became the legs and rails..
Square and straight doesn't do it for me.. So I took it a little further and carved and shaped these legs....;b

It's Been A While

So things are kind of up in the air at the moment.. Change of job on the horizon.. So I've been getting my head around that..
Yes it's been a while since I last posted..
But I've not lost my love of making shavings.. ;b
