Simplest Stool : Saddle Back Style

Submitted by tsibiga on Mon, 06/20/2011 - 09:52

We've been looking for some saddle back stools for quite a while that would fit snug under our kitchen island. I couldn't find any, so I checked Ana-White and found the perfect building plan. I used scraps to build two matching stools and so I altered the plans to fit what I had. Other then the dimensions being different, I also used a 2x12" piece of wood cut down to 9x15" for the stool top.

I've documented the process as best as I could at; http://www.tommyandellie.com/Site/Home/Entries/2011/6/13_More_Seating_f…

Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
$0 I used all scrap wood from a previous project
Estimated Time Investment
An Hour or Two (0-2 Hours)
Finish Used
"Rainwater" Martha Stewart Paint
Recommended Skill Level
Beginner

I skipped a step that I might redo. I'd recommend taking some wood filler and spreading over the knots and imperfections before painting it. Sand it down, smooth it out, and it'll be Looking flawless.
