Please instpect my stool too.
I turned a big stool out of a log of "eucalypt" at 's on Tuesday. He is away at the moment, and I got the OK from him to do this. So I made this one all by myself.
Wanted it to look like a pile of squashy pillows. Whadayareckon? Its still in the lathe cos I want to wax it next week.
Its got shellac on it at the moment. My theory was that cos its furniture rather than object shellac and trad wax would be a more robust finish. 
Its about 320mm diam. and 400mm high.
Me and it.

Undernieth side. I put a foot ring cos I think less contact with the floor is better.

Nice stool,
a pouffe, or do you have more ambitions for it? I see it in front of the tele with a port and fluffy slippers...."We must never become callous. When we experience the conflicts ever more deeply we are living in truth. The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil." - Albert Schweizer

Did you make the Michelin Man too?

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.

A concave bottom is a good idea,solves most balance problems. Good job!
Should have knocked the rough shape out with a chainsaw. Then you could have made two - one to sell.
