Step Stool for Harper

820
16
I am going to Illinois for my 60th reunion this weekend and I will be real close to where my great great niece lives and planned a visit. It is her birthday on the next weekend so I made an early birthday gift for her. It will be handy for her to get up to the sink to brush her teeth when she gets old enough...she will be 2 on the 15th.
The stool is made from red oak and I did not want any fasteners showing. The legs and aprons are pocket screwed, doweled and glued  on.
I put a concave pocket around the under side of the top overhang  to make it easy to pick up
It is 8" x 11" and 7"high and finished with clear  semi-gloss polyurethane.

Fine though process to put in the finger grooves!
Jim,
We love that you engraved great, great uncle.  If the world lasts long enough, her ancestors will treasure knowing that fact!  And "made in U.S.A." makes it priceless!
