'Morning Matthew and Galoots Assembled,

I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee and watching the snow fall gently on the
deck, looks like about 5 inches so far, we are expected to peak at about 12
inches today here in Asheville, North Carolina.  The power just flickered at
7:00 a.m. for the first time, so it's good to have lots of hand tools and candle
lanterns, and a wee bit of firewood for the woodstove.

Matthew, thank you for the very informative set of photos of your build of the
staked stool--very clear and helpful.  I think I've got all the necessary tools
except for the reamer, could you talk some about that tool?

I observed in your photos and in the Schwarz plans that there is a goodly
chamfer on the seat, but on the underside!  I was surprised by this as this
means that there will be a sharp edge digging into the underside of the sitter's
thighs, especially since the front edge is higher than the back.  Any particular
reason that the edges on the top of the seat are not relieved in some fashion?

Finally, what are your thoughts on final finish?  Milk paint?  Schwarz's burn
technique?  Nothing?

Again, thank you for the excellent series of build photos.

Your secret is safe with me.

Cheers,
John

P.S.  When are you and the brood going to come visit Asheville and surrounding
environs?  We've got guest rooms galore and on-demand shop tours!
