Split Stool

Here's a piece I've recently completed. It's a small, round stool called the Split Stool made from laminated ply, Ironbark and Spotted Gum. These two varieties of timber are extremely hard and durable with beautiful grain. As is often the case with Australian Hardwoods, the more appealing grain is much harder to work and requires scraping and sanding rather than planing so takes hours and hours of work. I'm also in the process of making a matching table that I'll post up soon.
