Here are a couple clam stools; 16" high, white oak seats with green milk paint legs, the approximate color scheme for my next piece.
For the past few weeks, I've been making poplar props as illustrations for Blanket Chests, the book that Scott Gibson and I are working on for the Taunton Press. Some of the props will be part of my next piece.
I plan on a woven hemp seat that will pass through these grooves. I am curious about the best round over radii to protect the cord and offer maximum seat comfort.
Here's a sketch with my sample corner. I'll use through wedged tenons to join the legs to the frame. The asymmetrical, simplicity of this piece appeals to me. This one is built to fit the foot of a queen-sized bed. It will have 2 interior, sliding, dovetailed, 4" deep poplar trays.
