Butterfly Key and Three legged Stool

[ken hatch]

I ended up making four three legged stools. The first two Poplar seats split, the second two I made the seats out of Red Oak and finished them while in Houston. They were gifts to the boy child and SIL. One of the first two with a split seat I threw away, good firewood, the second just had one split that could be saved with a butterfly key. I made the key and knocked it home tonight, Tomorrow I'll plane it flush and the stool should make a nice shop stool. It is perfect height for working at the bench.

I'd like to say I planned it that way:p
