Build a Stylish Step Stool

A $50 materials fee, included in the class fee, covers everything you need.

You can choose to build your chair from clear vertical-grain fir, a Northwest species, or from sapele, an African mahogany that was milled with quartersawn boards to reveal its ribbon wood grain. It shimmers when you look at it from various angles, a characteristic called chatoyance.
