| |  Art or just another stool?
Just working up a few pieces to go into the art exhibition for Friday  .
Todays effort, not quite finished as had to help Tack Hama with some of her pieces  , a burl stool with Red Mahogany legs, 3 square, 1 turned with steel round bar bracing.
Just have to grind the two welds/tacks and get out the Danish oil. I have had the legs blanks and burl cut for a while. I was going to make a couple of stools for home (something to sit on while I have breakie) so if I sell them good if not I still get something to sit on at home. |

If you can sit on it then it's a stool, if you fall off then it's performance art.  |

Sorry Claw…. But I have to put this in the ‘Just another Category”
I always love your work, but this is in the quick cash/artie fartie category.
Two uglie faces from me...  (out of five) |

Have to agree with you all at the moment, I think it will look better tomorrow with some oil and a better photo.In person it is quite cute but it isn't a very photogenic little thing. I like the ugly faces |

It's Art when you say it is...
Anyways it's not just a stool......it's more a metaphor for the human condition 
..and it requires a title...."quadrapod in the void number 7"....perhaps

Interesting stool CH I tend to look at a unique stool something I could use it has a saddle style one side like a push bike or wide angle and even footrest.
It would make a great plant or another art stand maybe pottery.

Mate, with a coat of oil and a ridiculously expensive price tag it will sell for sure. At an art show the price is directly proportional to the desirability. |

This must be a quality stool seeing that it has 4 legs and with a burl like that it must be worth squillions

I'm with Lignum - certainly isn't to my taste. But then what else would you do with an odd bit of wood like that? Beats making a clock out of it I suppose.
I'm sure someone will love it though.
Not in the same class as that bench you're making at all

I kinda like it. Maybe the legs could be at varying angles or something. The one under tha extenfing corner could be angled out so the bottom of the leg i under the corner. Might look like its stable then too. 
The metal bit is a bit small and apologetic. 
It certainly makes my round stools look a little boring.
