Shaker Step Stool
- Wood Species
- Hickory, Ash
- Joinery
- Mortise and Tenon, Dovetails
- Finish
- Shellac
Built at the Sam Beauford Woodworking Institute, this compact step stool is a study in Shaker utility and proportion. Hand-cut through dovetails join the top to the legs, while a wedged mortise-and-tenon stretcher locks the whole structure against racking.
Arched cutouts lighten the feet and allow the stool to sit cleanly on uneven floors, and a central handhold pierced through the top makes it effortless to carry from room to room.
