Small Milking Stool
$75.00 Our earliest “signature” piece is a 3-legged milking stool. Each one is created from interesting and attractive hardwoods, and crafted by hand individually. Most are made of black cherry.
The seats are shaped by eye, and each leg is turned one-at-a-time without a pattern. They’re wedged into and through the seat the way old-fashioned Windsor chairs are.
These smaller stools are good for a plant stand, or for kids to sit on. It can nest beneath a full-size stool.
