A Plant Stool or Tabouret 



THE stool, in the accompanying illustration, 

 if well made, is very solid. It fits in well with 

 library, hall and office furnishings and makes a very 

 acceptable Christmas gift. 



The materials needed are four pieces 18 x 3 x § in. 

 planed, for legs; one piece 14 x 14 x \ in. planed, 

 top; two pieces 8£ x if x \ in., planed, lower braces; 

 one piece 8^ x8J x| in., planed, upper braces. 

 Use chestnut, white wood, white oak, mahogany, 

 cherry or birch. You will need also 2 -in. blued 

 screws, round head, lot fastenings. 



To construct the stool make with the two 8J x 

 if x I in. pieces, the lower braces, a lap joint. Find 

 the mid-line of each piece by measuring \\ in. 

 from the ends. From this line lay off two other 

 lines parallel to it and at a distance of \ in. to the 

 right and left. This makes a if in. square in the 

 centre of each piece. Now transfer these lines down 

 the edges of the lower brace pieces. Saw on the 

 inside of the lines down one-half the thickness or 



Notice the pleasing effect of the simple lines in 

 this stool. "Why not give this, at Christmas, to 

 some friend -who loves plants? 



saw and chisel down to one-half. It is necessary 

 to saw on the inside of the lines or a loose joint will 

 result. The joint must be exactly in the middle and 

 all arms must be equal in length when completed. 

 Brads or finishing nails should be used to hold the 

 joint in place. This lower brace is 7 in. up from 

 the floor or bottom of the stool. In the' picture the 

 screws, which hold the brace, show plainly. 



Now lay off an octagon, with a diameter of 8J in. 

 on the 8J x 8J x | in. pieces, sawing off the corner 

 pieces so to just fit the log. Glue and screw this 

 to the under sides of the top piece, placing the grain 

 across that of the top wood. Warping is thus 

 prevented. This brace acts as a support to which 

 the upper ends of the legs are firmly screwed and 

 glued. A y\- in. gimlet hole should be bored for each 

 screw or the wood will split. The holes should not

 primarily to smoke — not to sell.
