Stool prototype

This stool is a result of a collaboration with long time friend and cabinetmaker Loren Klimko. We worked together for several weeks trying to make Windsor chairs the way they would have been made in the 1800's. After experimenting with steam bending and working green wood, our day time jobs left us to temporarily abandon the effort to master the Windsor.

Using some of the fundamental principles of chair making I learned from Loren I built this stool using the left over materials from our Windsor project.

The stool has a poplar seat and cherry legs. The curved braces on the legs are done to mimic the Thos Moser style.
