Great looking stools. The maple looks fantastic. I would have been perplexed with the wedge orientation if I was making them. With the maple seats, I would not think there will be any issues with the one wedge running with the grain.

Another couple of points about the wedges: firstly, the seat is Hard Maple, and not a soft pine. It will resist splitting. Secondly, the tenons are not tapered, and seat instead on a shoulder. The wedge is thin and just enough to prevent the seat lifting. A tapered tenon wedges itself increasingly in the mortice, and the wedge would be more of an issue then.

I thought I had commented but cannot find it, so -
Very nice work - as usual. You had a good designer for inspiration. I really like the tapered edges and, of course, the contrasting wedges.
