Triumphbonneville Report post Posted October 12, 2009 Hi, This is a three legged stool i made,and my first attempt at carving a pattern in leather. The legs are made from chestnut staves.I've found it a practical item too,for camping or around the house. Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildrose Report post Posted October 12, 2009 Does the cuff of leather hold the legs together well? I usually see those with what we call tri-bolts....but they're notoriously hard to find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildrose Report post Posted October 12, 2009 I don't know about that one, but the ones I've made held at least 250 lbs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't had any trouble with the cuff,i doubled it just to make sure.The tri bolt idea seemed a bit ugly with nuts on the bolt showing on the out side. I'd be interested to see any of your celtic knotwork. I like the stool, looks nice. Whats the weight limit on it? I wouldn't know really just how much it can take.but the fattest member of our family sits on it and there is no problem. nice love the carving David Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose Report post Posted October 14, 2009 I might try the cuff next time then! Thanks for the idea You can see some of my knotwork, along with some of the stools I've made (think they're on there at least...) on my site: http://www.wrcleather.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
