Perching stool
Replacing worn out shop stool. Could have simply redone upholstery, but why do simple?
Saw basic design on Steelcase website. Adapted to woodworking. Stool is designed to supplement people the work at a standing desk. Same for me for some bench work. Maple seemed a bit bland so I added embellishments. Angle of seat and stretchers is 7.5 degrees. Joints are mortise and tenon. Seat is Spanish Cedar, for ease of sculpting. Covered with split leather. Polyurethane finish. Pictures show major steps

Nice inlay work! That would look great in any shop.
Really nicely done! Guessing family/friends who see this will be asking for one!
You sure did embellish it. I could use a new stool and thanks for the great ideas.
Thanks for the kind comments. Always appreciate knowledgeable feedback
interesting tool, and a very nice stool. Well done.

Stool is great and looks comfy, but gotta comment on that pattern routing.
That is a nifty method you use to get those sinusoids!

Great work. Love that base for the Dremel.

I like working with Dremel on smaller projects because it so much easier to maneuver than a full size tool. And the plunge works easier.
Great work on that stool!! Real nice design!

Thanks Jim
love that jig you made for the dremel tool. youve given me some good ideas. the inlay is real nice. one thing i would have done was did a more sculptural seat as in a maloof style he used on his chairs and rockers. the center ridge on his only extends about half way then flattens out. ive done his rocker and it makes a very comfortable seat. and i would have left it bare wood, but i can understand the need for comfort when sitting for long periods maybe. nice work.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Thanks for the compliments Pottz. I had pretty much the same thoughts. The comfort part won out, plus wood alone would have been a bit slippery because of the incline.
