    My first impression of the photos was "How elegant". The joinery is beautiful.

    Your own design? They are beautiful. I now have another project itch!
    Sawdust is some of the best learning material!

    Beautiful work Prashun. It reminds me of the Danish modern furniture I grew up with.

    Thanks for all the generous comments. Yes, they are my own design, but come on, they're stools. It was difficult trying to make something unique. The seat scoop and width have to be functional. The rake and splay have to have integrity, and the stretchers need to support feet.

    If anything, these made me appreciate how optimized the simple 4 legged stool is.

    And all the angles re straight forward if you use wedges and set up blocks and bevel the bottom of the seat instead of trying to go all windsor with the drilling.

    Wow, those are beautiful stools, Prashun! I see both Maloof and Frid in the design yet it's a design uniquely your own! Well done!

    Broken, I acquiesced, "When that time comes, I'll spray paint everything black."

    Echoing what others have said. Beautiful execution, the curves flow like a conga line during Carnival.

    I really love the "cutting boards" to "sitting boards" thing. LOL

    They look great!

    If I had a set of those in my house, I don't think I could bring myself to put my feet on them.
