The foot rest is done!!! - Dumb_Polack - 01-07-2020
Fellas, here are the finished shots (with the original design thrown in as well as a progress shot). Since I don't have a lathe, rounding and tapering the legs and stretchers took the longest. Also I couldn't figure out the pattern in the original, so I went with a simple checkerboard weave.
My costs? $50 for the weave and the pad that's between the 2 courses. This stool retails for $275!
The finish is just Original Danish Oil.

Nice, your approach to the tapering/rounding worked out well.

Here is my recommendation:

That came out great. The fabric colors go nicely with the wood color and the pattern suits the piece just fine.
