For discussing woodworking with hand tools. Machines are fine but we focus on the manual techniques here: Carving, joining, Sloyd/Slöjd/Sløyd/Sløjd, spring-pole lathe turning, planing, shaving, bending, basketry, etc. All levels of experience are welcome.

It's all from a single 2x4x8 ($5.50), making it really cheap to attempt. I think it's really cool to make something that would get regular use like a stool. I've got a second one going too and I'm thinking I'm not going to taper it the same way. This taper was really labor intensive and is just underwhelming. Need to figure out other ways to taper staked furniture
Did you go all the way to making a shaving horse and using draw knives and stuff? It looks like the chair making rabbit hole can get pretty deep.
