Stool

oak maple good

Depends on how you plan to finishing them ,but poplar is low cost and Jim’s suggestions are good choices too.

Any hardwood will do just fine. Go to your lumber yard and compare prices, maybe they have a deal on something you like.

Even softwood will make good stools if the design is good. I just made four more of these for my marquetry school students. They are Douglas Fir and very solid and sturdy.

My old one in the background is Oak.

very nice

Soft wood is more cushy-comfy than hard wood. Much better for a stool. ;-)

Seriously though… Pick a wood to match the bar. Just make sure there are no knots in the legs. Don’t want any weak spots.

They look great paul.

I agree with the gang , what ever wood works best , and really look close at the material for the legs.

I told her i couldnt make them. I was trying to squeeze them in during my current project, but i feel i am biting more than i can chew at the moment. Thanks for all the input, i will eventually make one or two, so i will already know.

Thanks again.
