three-legged stool

Just finished a version of a three-legged stool, a design taken from Tage Frid (widely considered the dean of woodworking teachers in America, originally from Denmark then came to The U.S. when the American Crafts Council asked him to start the first woodworking program here after WWII, also taught at RIT and RISD for years). This is my favorite design of his and I may be doing a run of a few of these very soon. This one is oak from some reclaimed beams my father gave me with wenge wedges and a simple Tung oil finish.
















Oh Tage...such a goofball.
