Step Stool

To help Lori reach Carter in her new bed in order to tuck her in, I took a couple of hours one weekend and built this little step stool for Carter's room. I built it out of some of the red oak lumber I milled with my chainsaw last year from a tree that fell in our woods. So this stool went from tree to useable object all without leaving our yard! I really love the ray fleck in that oak. That's one benefit of sawing it yourself - you get to choose how you cut it. In this case, I chose to cut a few pieces quartersawn to expose the rays.
