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.
Ya dunn gud!
Nice

Nice, your approach to the tapering/rounding worked out well.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Now you will have to upgrade your moccasins to match the quality of the foot rest. Here is my recommendation:

It should match your quality nicely.

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