No. 29 Couple of Stools -Stool Week

     This post kicks off Stool Week. Seven days, seven different stools, well, except today there are two. Anyway, it is also the first day of the new short format. This change will allow me to continue doing this without it consuming too much of my day. It goes like this: six short posts then a seventh, expanded post to end the week.
     These two stools are not related in any way, I just felt like posting them together. The top stool might be best suited as a table or bar stool. The bottom stool might be better suited as a table.

Top: I see it in cherry though any wood would be just fine. The legs need a little work and I might lower the stretchers.

Bottom: I would probable use ash or white oak for this. I'd either leave it natural with no finish, or ebonize it.

No. 26 Round Drawer, Square Case

     Steve Taylor is back as the idea man for today's sketch. His idea was simple: Rounded drawer front(s) on an otherwise square case. Warning: Simple Concept = Short Blog Post.
     Talking to Steve later, he assured me that he would be content with either a case of drawers or an end table. I have not drawn an end table on this blog to date so that is what I chose to do. This is a very basic interpretation. I literally sketched an end table and put a rounded drawer front on it. The only modification to the rest of the design is relief of the top to allow space for the top of the drawer.

So, that's it. Um. Thanks for dropping by and we'll see you tomorrow then? (Gosh this is awkward)
