I have made a variety of mushroom seats over a period of time 2011 Pine and pocket holes. sadly it fell foul of the car in 2018 So I built the MII version Red Iron Bark , Pocket holes again , ... and it will be a tow job if anybody attempts to run over it! the more recently the Mk III version Maple top and pine base with 3D carved segments, sporting Gold silver and copper inlay leaf! My favorite seat outside when I am doing wood work or needing to be a bit taller. both are still living and in use today Mar 2024
