Cypress Heart Stools
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I made these two stools about a year apart. The first was the proof of concept… the second was the errr concept? I had some Cypress logs and got the idea to make a heart shaped bar stool. I used a router sled and some supports to flatten the ends of the logs, then a combination of electric chain saw, angle grinder with carving blade and flap disk, scrub plane and random orbit sander.The heart shape is conducive to supporting a posterior due to similar shape and the the odd looking bird's mouth at the front is a fairly effective foot rest. Then carved handles on the sides make it easier to move.For finish I tried Outdoor Defense Tung Oil which has zinc in it to protect against sun and mold. The Tung oil is naturally waterproof. I had never used this finish before so I used it on the first stool and left it outside by our pool bar for a year. I have to say it has held up well. I liked it well enough to use it on the second one a year later. These could easily be used indoors with the same finish.Source: For more photos and details. Heart Bar Stool
