After finally finishing my big wooden bandsaw (https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread....andsaw-project), I was glad to get back to some small, hand tool projects.
A couple who are friends of my Wife and myself just had their first daughter not long ago. As a gift, my wife asked me to make them a step stool with their daughters name on the seat.
I didn't want to paint the name on the top, and I'm not much of a carver, so decided to "Stipple" the name in.
Wood is Honduran Mahogany. After making the first one, I had enough wood left over to build a second (without the stippling).
