I like the lok of it, and it can be finished very nice.<br />The seat has already started to crack a little, but it was also wet when I cut it from the log. I think it will be OK when I get it back to the shop that is unheated. <br />I hope your wife can forgive me for accelerating the lathe feel in you. The good thing is that you can make a lot of neat wife pleaser object ona lathe such as candleholders, pegs for a peg board, bowls etc. <br />I think that some types of lathes have a head stock that you can turn around, so you can turn large diameter objects. Sadly my lathe doesn't have that option, so that is why I had to resort to the metal lathe. <br />But then again, it is very seldom I have the need for something of that diameter. <br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-68753094933740037092014-01-26T09:40:12.097-08:002014-01-26T09:40:12.097-08:00Thanks.

There is quite a substantial feeling to the stool as you have predicted :-)<br /><br />I think that I will try to stain the stool using the Roubo recipe (horse dung + urine) I have kept a jar of that in the workshop for a special project. <br />Asger is wearing a thermo coverall, since it is really cold at the moment. <br />There is a lot of wind and temperatures below freezing. With my kerosene stove hammering away, I can just manage to keep the temperature at 14 degrees Celsius. <br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-39875515861032563952014-01-26T07:39:32.702-08:002014-01-26T07:39:32.702-08:00Great work and a "classic" design.

You will be getting me in trouble with my wife one of these days.<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-82008767753016610762014-01-25T23:49:12.036-08:002014-01-25T23:49:12.036-08:00Congratulations!

I bet with that thick elm seat your new stool feels substantial.<br /><br />Are you going to finish it or leave it "in the white?"<br /><br />Asger looks cold. He must be a hardcore woodworker to stick out those temperatures.Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.com
