A Simple Stool NPR
-
IS NICE and nice style. Is there a method a DIY woodworker can make the curved wood seat? Would be fun to make a couple of those.
-
Thank you, Peter.
As for the seat, the one in the plan is made up of bent and glued veneers--sort of a home made plywood bent over a form. Then it is upholstered with foam and leather. All within the reach of a DIYer in a home shop.
-
One way of making a curved seat might be with the use of something like the X-Carve.
Curved laptop stand with keyboard and mouse pockets.
500mm and 1000mm X-Carves

True that, Mike. If you had a CNC machine in your shop, you could certainly cut the shape that way.
-
Yes for that manner with hand tools one could cut a series of arc-shaped pieces and laminate them (or get them done at a [friend's?] shop then laminate and finish at home).
-
Dave, cool stool, really like the first image. Fyi curved seat for us old guys means drawknife, spokeshaves and compass planes!
-
You ought to take a look at this. No drawknife, spokeshave or compass plane.

Excuse my ignorance but what does NPR mean in this context? I have seen others refer to npr but the only definition I know is National Public Radio. Just curious.

I always think of Public Radio when I see it, too. In this context it stands for Non-Photo Realistic.
