Chippendale stool
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
We needed a stool to match an old Chippendale wingback chair that was to be reupholstered for the bedroom in the new basement. It looked like an easy project, and I had some cherry on hand, so here I went. Construction took an afternoon; the mortise and tenon joints took the most tmie, as they were cut buy hand.After staining and the first coat of finish on the base came the dilemma – how to get the small spatters of black on it to match the chair. Finally clipped 4 or 5 straws from the plastic broom in the shop. Taped them together , dipped them in black enamel and flipped droplets on the base – worked perfectly.The result matches the chair quite well (and a lot cheaper than buying one!).
