    A pair of stools

    Needed stools for our puzzle table. A little oak and sugar pine.

    Legs are about 7/8" x 3/4" Very light and very sturdy

    Top is fastened with screws not quite tightened in slots so they are loose It's a nice floating effect with a function

    Darn sideways pictures,,,,

    Pine had a previous life as demonstrated by extra holes in the underside

    Those look good. And solid. I'm curious how wide you made the tenons? Were they just 3/4" wide, or as wide as the flared ends? (Purely curious.)

    I like that detail on the stretchers, Tom; adds some nice character and probably a whole bunch of rigidity.

    I always make tenons as big as possible.

    I like these. There was a discussion a bit ago, I don't remember who all was involved, that got into talking about corner treatments, edge treatments, round over like this versus chamfer with a plane versus barely break the corner with a little 220 grit paper.

    On this project, I like the roundovers. I want to touch them.
