I've taught my SO to make 'travished' seats for stools and chairs.

Instructions

Yet another stool design! As if there weren't enough on the hub already. Well? Of the couple of dozen hub project stools (not counting step stools) all but a couple are flat topped. I happen to like curves. The 'travishing' is accomplished in much the same way as my curved bowls, with a wee bit of arithmetic (nothing more arduous than Pythagoras' theorem) and my ZedSled (about which there is a thread on the forum). I've included SVGs for the seat but not the legs because most of the joinery was done on tool, hence, no files. Anyway, you can put any legs you want on a stool once you have a nice top. Perhaps even something like a Windsor chair.
