Vernacular Furniture Making: Three-Legged Stool
About this workshop
Learn to make a three-legged stool with woodworker Robert Geddes.
In this full-day workshop, you will spend the day learning the fundamental principles, tools, and techniques of Vernacular Chairmaking. Sometimes called "furniture of the people", vernacular furniture is used in day-to-day life and is often regionally specific.
You will make a simple three-legged stool in the style of a Sheffield Cutler’s Stool or a rustic milking stool using only a small selection of traditional hand tools including rasps, spokeshaves and planes.
At the end of the day, you will take home your finished piece.
