making the wooden structure for five pieces means that each working step can be multiplied at the moment of making it as many times as needed to obtain them. By working in series, it does take some more time than making a single one, but at the same time each step is economized as the setting of both the machinery and the hand-tools needs to be done once for all pieces of the same kind.
the first step of all is choosing the right plank and mark out the material take out; all of the stools are made out of a single cherry wood plank, divided by five sections lengthwise, each section correspond to all the material needed for each stool, that way the fibers and the pattern have a balance all together.
after taking out the material for all the stools, the wood pieces needed to rest for a couple of days in order to let them move and re-adjust before shaping them down to it’s final dimensions. After that, each set of pieces where final shaped one by one, so for example, the tilting part of the top stretcher was shaped for all the pieces at the same time; or the same for the curve of the leg ends, for all the joints, final shaping by hand, sanding, gluing, etc.
total amount of pieces for five stools: 20 legs - 10 upper stretchers - 10 down stretchers
