I've got a couple of old metal based stools that belonged to my Pop, probably from the 1960's or '70's. They had old pine tops with disintegrating foam and fraying cushion covers that Grandma had made to cover the original vinyl which was all split. The chromed legs were also quite rusted. With the recent removal of trees in our yard, I thought it'd be cool to cut a log cookie to replace the top of a stool. The cookie I'd cut was a little thick, and not too level, but felt comfortable to sit on. I also cut the log with an electric chainsaw that I'd picked up off the side of the road that someone was throwing out. At first I saw the body, but initially disregarded it, until it was still there the next day. Destiny! I grabbed it, threw it in the van, then saw the 16" bar and chain underneath other stuff in the pile. On testing, it ran, and just needed cleaning and sharpening of the chain. This stool top was it's maiden cut and it performed well. The cookie is fairly fresh and bound to crack as it dries, but that may add to the charm. I sealed it with multiple coats of shellac, so it'll be easy to touch up if needed. Thanks for watching, and reading this far. I hope you like the build and video. Please consider subscribing.
