Child's Step Stool
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
My niece asked me to make a small step stool, so her 3 year old could stand at the counter at help mom cook. I found the plans for this Shaker style stool in the FWW site and it seems to fit the bill. Unlike the FWW version, I used some nice cherry instead of pine, and went for a Danish oil finish instead of paint. I like thinking a piece I make might be an heirloom someday.The plans call for the part to be assembled with screws, and while that generally doesn't really fit a fine piece, I decided to go with that, but used brass screws for a bit of pop. I had a jar of #12, 2 inch screws from my grandfather's shop – which likely date back to the 1940's – that turned out to be nice accents.Like several of my projects, I made router templates for the shaped pieces, so I can duplicate the piece if needed.
