Oak Footstool
Footstool: Because it should have the old school feel of a railroad bridge and the modern engineering of the space shuttle ! Made from Red Oak. I used an offset profile path to cut out the front (yes, that is all 1 piece) rather than a standard V-carve which would have taken longer and made dust instead of just a few neat pieces. Then I V-carved with a 60 deg bit. Was also fun to use aspire to play with the hexagons until I got a good 1/4" between each to make it strong. Cool little COVID project

Re: Oak Footstool
That's one of those projects you can't stop looking at. It's too bad it'll be hidden under a desk. Great work!!

Re: Oak Footstool
Thank you all for the kind words. What I found is that it is most comfortable to pivot on the far corners and rock back and forth while working. Glad it's strong <g>.
And I like it too which is why it's under the desk or I might stop and stare too often at it <g>

The more I look at it the more I admire the design and execution. Well done.

Re: Oak Footstool
The design is beautiful and the riftsawn oak is beautiful. Simply stunning. Get it out from under the desk, it is a wonderful piece of art.
