Three Legged Stool

[short art]

Hi all ,I am not what you would call a leather worker the presant time, I am doing a friend a good turn by making the legs for her three legged "saddle stool" ? I don't have a plan to follow, My question is, "what do you do about the top of the leg from pushing through the laceing on the end.?"

Make the legs from large dowel.

The original legs for those stools were about 1" in diameter and had a slight taper leading to a rounded end of about 3/4". The taper you have is like a knife edge and will poke through. Your square legs will work, but they must be rounded on the end so that they push a lump up in the top and bottom pieces so the end of the leg can't reach the lacing. Gump.

Thank you, I will give that a go. SA.

You can use dowls and round them off a little . You can conect the dowels with a ring or a tri bolt. Lots of information already on here, search three legged stool, camp stool or three legged stool pattern.
