This stool is a favorite of my grandkids. This one is just the latest of 15 that I have made. The wood is Alder and was just some scraps that I had left over from other projects. The design was copied from one I saw in a magazine and redesigned by me for the size that I wanted. My children all have one that they use constantly with their own family. This particular one is for a great grandchild and has kind of an interesting story that goes along with it. My granddaughter and her husband had to live with my daughter for several months while her husband was looking for work. When he found a job they moved and my great granddaughter, London, started to cry because she could not take "her" stool with her. When they told me this story I quickly agreed to make this latest edition.

I put my own mark on everything I make. I use a penny with the correct year it was made.
