This was inspired by a Rex Kruger video where he makes a stool from a single 2x4, and by Chris Schwarz’s staked high stool.
Here’s the video:

And Lost Art Press seems to be down at the moment, but here’s the link anyway:

This is awesome! Such efficient use of material.
Thank you - it’s definitely part of the appeal.
Looks great, I like it better than Rex and Chris’. I’m inspired to give this a shot…
The material cost is so low and so easy to obtain. I did make sure I was getting Douglas Fir, though - not just generic SPF or whitewood or whatever most framing lumber at the big boxes is. In my area Home Depot only carries Douglas Fir in 2x6, 2x10, and 2x12 - all at different stores. Fortunately the one closest to me had 2x10s. And expect to sort through the rack for a clear board. Generally speaking, the wider the board, the clearer it is.
Nice! subscribed.
