In this workshop hosted by WOO, I’ll demonstrate how to turn logs and branches into a simple stool for your home.
While I’ll be demonstrating how to make a rustic stool, many of these techniques apply to traditional Windsor chairmaking as well! We’ll discuss site lines for establishing the angles, rake and splay for the stool legs, and how to carve using an axe, drawknife and carving knife! And we’ll use a power drill with forstner bits to drill the leg holes. I’ll have a shaving horse and chopping block on hand - but will demonstrate how a few F-clamps and a scrap piece of plywood could be used as well. Oil finishes and milk paint will be discussed as finishing touches to your new wild stool.
For women & non-binary folks. All skill levels welcome. No prerequisites. All you need is a computer and a good internet connection!
