In this video, I design and build a set of modern wooden stools from a simple sketch. The project starts by exploring different shapes on paper before moving into the shop to create templates and begin cutting the parts.
The stool sides are shaped from mahogany plywood using templates and a router to keep everything consistent. The stretchers are cut on the table saw and joined with angled tenons, creating a strong base that keeps the stool stable while maintaining the clean lines of the design.
Originally, the seat was going to be solid wood, but after seeing it in place I decided to change direction and wrap the seat with Danish paper cord instead. The woven cord adds texture, comfort, and a bit of contrast to the design, while also making the seat replaceable if it ever wears out.
It’s a project that evolved along the way, and those small changes helped shape the final piece.
If you enjoy woodworking, design, and thoughtful details in furniture making, I hope you enjoy the build.
