My grandson had his second birthday last week. I made him the stool pictured above, with his name carved in the top (see Snippet #6). I made the other stool as a gift for a good friend's granddaughter. These stools are my own design. I made two of them over 20 years ago. One was a gift for my nephew (he still has it). We kept the other one and it is now known as "Marlene's bean-picking stool." She used it one year to sit on while picking green beans and it has been utilized in the garden ever since. I've also used it as a mini workbench a couple of times. So it's worn and beaten, but as solid and functional as the day it was made.

The stools look great. Next time look up "Kerning" before you do another, it will make them even better. I read a lot of your material and have one of your books. I have studied and made some hand painted signs. Next time you are bored and on the the internet look up Kerning. It will make your letter spacing a lot better. Thank you for your help, God speed...
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your 'snippets' very much! And I need one of these stools for bean pickin'!...maybe I will even try my hand at carving, too!
