I replaced a stool I got on a garage sale this Maple one I made.

I found a Maple board that looked long enough at the Woodsmith store.

Got it home and it was just right in length but no way to work around the knot so I put it on top and let it show.

Judging from the picture of your wife, after the hardware removal surgery, this came in very handy.

Mark when you post pics, use the text tool bar to post em, not the "File Uploader" it's much easier, go HERE to see how to load a picture into your discussion. That's a great footstool! I love the knot! I am a big fan of knots. The stool looks like an old colonial style home made stool, great job! Did you use the stainless screws from the surgery in it?

Nice stool, Mark. If you cant hide the knot then glorify it. Good move. Was that a leg vise I saw in the background? A man of my own heart. I have yet to use a vise that was more effective for the work I do.

Nice work on the stool, much nicer than the metal one. 

 

Interesting shop, do you have more photos of your shop here? I'd like to see how you store your hand tools, planes, saws, etc...

Vise is a 2$ garage sale find and is just standing there waiting to be put to work.

Mark great looking stool. I love the knot. I gives it character. Doesn't look mass produced.
