The picture shows the holes being drilled from the underside of the stool top, angled so that the stool legs splay outwards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1537278560169-A9DOQXO43R7JB7129N9S/legs.jpg Blog - stool making This step involves splitting and smoothing 3 legs, then drying the legs unless one uses already dry wood for the legs. The wood must be dry because once the 1” tennons are cut on the end of them using the electric drill and tenon cutter (a tool like a giant pencil sharpener) there must be no shrinkage which would affect their jointing into the stool top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1537278829373-JHKWPKASLZY47NHW4K8F/legs2.jpg Blog - stool making Insert the legs into the holes you drilled into the stool top. Mark a line accross the top of the tenon crossways to the grain of the stool top. Now cut down this line the depth of the stool top depth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1537279855100-020AL31PTX9RHCMZMGCK/stool.jpg Blog - stool making Now as if by magic the stool will appear perfect and finished! What I didnt show was fitting stretchers and wedging the legs into the stool top. This is quite an involved process and I got so caught up in it I didnt take any photos.

Holly is an amazing white, dense wood which takes shape very well. I'm hoping to make a few chairs out of holly soon, I think they will be beautiful. I feel very lucky to have access to holly wood of this size, and to work in the amazing woodland where they grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1430649831751-MCXZL7SJFGD0M9YITHG9/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Tree felling in the amazing oak and holly woodland in Highampton The holly tree grew very much interlocked with its neighbouring oak tree, so I had to use the winch to pull them apart. Their intertwining reminded me of the equinox mythology. The oak king and the holly king do battle on the longest and on the shortest day. The outcome is that the holly (evergreen) king rules in the winter, and the oak (deciduous) king rules in the summer. This is certainly the case here, where the oak remains to grow on this summer, and the holly (eventually!) falls. However, the holly I have cut down today will coppice, so that the summer regrowth will do battle with the oak king and reign supreme in the wintertime again. Woods work on such a long time scale, and there is always such resurgence. My hope in this woodland is to make small changes to the advantage of the whole wood, so that it remains healthy for the future. http://devonwoodworks.com/blog/2015/1/30/chainsaw-mill monthly 0.5 2015-02-28 http://devonwoodworks.com/about daily 0.75 2023-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1422645220883-T2K09T19NC2VAEH5CRW3/IMG_3217.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1685052065224-WRLLMPJG1ZPHXSLU7JN3/me+milling.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1685052146040-TJ1Y2102DJ5USHKYX9YQ/me+milling.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1685052392750-51S4II294V2EWPYRQ6ZJ/WhatsApp+Image+2023-05-25+at+22.56.14.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1685052411896-XMGY7F15ZL21OUNRO5LS/WhatsApp+Image+2023-05-25+at+22.55.26.jpeg About http://devonwoodworks.com/work-examples daily 0.75 2025-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1467575470474-8AC9DKREAZWD3DB2GIKN/sign2.jpg Work Examples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1426347918556-1SMYAJR4GV3IKTOE0XJH/bowl.jpg Work Examples - Yew bowl Long bowl in strawberries and cream yew wood, smooth all over and finished with walnut oil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1534973082365-X2DVJGU851LE91MAM4YG/corner+shelves.jpg Work Examples - bathroom corner shelves Spalted beech corner shelves to soften the edges in this bathroom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1612523674193-JWMKPLF7AU0EFDZ1CNC3/wooden++transformers.jpg Work Examples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1612523167228-TP3LR2X13MO02DDFX1KH/image-asset.jpeg Work Examples - Garden Sculpture 1m wide softwood round with bored hole and pyrography growth rings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1422207782497-B7CNXALPAXJTRVGZ306I/rocker1.jpg Work Examples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1422209655721-WVGEXM0HTH3LS8WZ3KJC/bench1.jpg Work Examples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1422210129286-SGY268PUBB10BUOHKP4N/childs+chair.jpg Work Examples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1422523962086-JM59I0XQ927T1NKBJPKP/stool.jpg Work Examples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1428673095235-EGESR86501AF4QIOL5AP/spoon.jpg Work Examples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54c5264de4b0fe251f05457d/1453673926748-F2A000CJP737HDDFFTKK/IMG_4167.jpg Work Examples - Devon Hedge Competition Trophy 2015 Oak billhook with hand carved 'Times New Roman' text mounted on ash 'pleacher' with brass name plate.
