I had a request to build a low seat for a young boy.
The family often sit on the floor and eat at a coffee table in the loungeroom.
The Taunton foot stool has a nice shape and I thought the dimensions would be about right for sitting at a coffee table.
I remember seeing a Japanese style stool carved by David marks and the curved parts look good and should make the seat more comfortable.
The mortices were cut on the morticer. A tilting table would have made it easier for the angled mortices.
Tenons were cut on the tablesaw.
I assembled the seat and legs and marked the location and angles for the brace.
I penciled a few different shapes for the seat with the sculptured rocking chair style seat and long curve the preferred options.
The long curve seemed more appropriate for a low seat. I carved the seat and legs while they were dry assembled.
After the parts were glued I added wedges to the tenons for extra strength.
