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.

It's not a Lutyens bench is it!
.
I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

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

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
what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

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.

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.

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've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan

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
