I have once again made a stool, and it's much larger this time. Several folks have mentioned that these stools tend to crack as they dry, so I used a very large hunk of log for the seat. It's very sturdy, thanks to the weight.

Here’s my stool and process.

- I used a green log 10” in diameter
- I cut it in half using a chainsaw
- I used hand tools to hewn the sitting surface
- I used dry pegs
- I used a hand auger to prepare the peg holes
- I used a tapered tenon cutter hand tool to prepare the pegs
- I put it all together and it’s stable and meets the dimension requirements, as it’s 17.5 inches tall and the seat is 16 inches wide.

The only cure for that is hours of television radiation. And this tiny ad:
