5-Week Course
Sundays, September 28 – October 26, 10:30am – 2:30pm

Ready to roll up your sleeves and make something you can actually sit on? In this five-week workshop, we’ll dive into the surprisingly playful world of staked furniture.

You’ll design and build your very own three-legged stool, starting with a fresh log and ending with a seat that’s all yours. Along the way, you’ll split wood straight from the log for legs, shape a seat by hand, and learn why “rake and splay” isn’t just a weird phrase but the secret to making your stool stand tall and sturdy.

We’ll cover:

•How to turn a log into legs (yes, it’s as satisfying as it sounds)

•The magic of rake and splay—geometry that makes your stool stable and cool

•How to pick the right wood and read the grain

•The quirks of working with green vs. dried lumber

By the end, you’ll not only have a stool you built yourself, but also the know-how to see staked furniture everywhere and say, “Hey, I could make that.”
