    Birdseye maple bathroom stool for the kiddo

    I’ve seen a bunch of these little stools, thought it would be a fun little project for my little guy, good practice for hand cutting dovetails. I’ve had this 8/4 chunk of Birdseye in my shop for a couple months, it was rough sawn. I got the work dimensioning in and holy hanna is it a stunner, all of 5A quality, and absolutely miserable to plane with even laser sharp tools. Finished in odies oil.

    Stunning wood Justin. That's the highest end step stool ever.

    I’ve always been a fan of letting the wood do the brunt of the heavy lifting. Haha.

    That has to be the best bathroom stool ever. Beautiful wood and great craftsmanship.
