How about furniture that has no joinery?!<p>I am someone who don't usually mind plywood or even MDF for alot of day to day furniture pieces. So maybe that's why I think a peice of wood left in such a raw state is so wonderful in contrast. These stools are about 12" x 12" by 18" tall. As you can see, the checks are all left untouched, which I think is true to the nature of the piece.<p>I'm interested in building something like it. How would you source the material for something like this? I don't even know where to go, or what to ask for? A large turning blank? A 18" long section of a trunk that's as big enough in diameter?<p>And what tool would you use to work something like this? Rough shape it using a chainsaw, or a bandsaw? Finish off using hand tools?
