Seat Blank

[clarke edgar]

I am building a shop stool and the seat dimension is 13" diameter and 1 1/2" thick. I am a novice wood turner and planned to true up the blank and round over 1 edge. Seemed simple and I could use my primitive turning skills. However, platter blanks 14" in diameter are hard to find. Now I might laminate the seat blank, using my 3/4" maple, cherry or walnut stock I have. What do you think?

Makes a nice seat.

If you are not in to fancy and just want function, Lowes sells precut round blanks made of pine(?). Then you you just have to turn the legs
