 Here are some more variants of the stool. This one is winning so far. Wide at the top, it offers strentgh ass well as i like the look. Its missing something however. It would help if i could visualise the finnished surface, as the shape should complement the finish. with time dissapearing, and the weather pissign rain, with high humidity, im not so sure about trying to get this laquered before wednesday at 12.30. for some intuitive feeling, that is really affecting my decision on which shape to cut. Its awesome to be in the process of making something, and knowing the procedure is flexible enough to accommodate change with ease throughout. That is rare in the construction of anything, and i think that is quite cool and win in its own right.
 Another variant. Personally i dont like it, but it maintains interest far more successfully than the one above.
 These are the dimensions of the inner line of the stool. all the variants pictured can be built of this drawing.
 I like this one. The little nodules cut out at the top lengthen the legs, and are cut in a way to reduce fatigue. It also has the nice effect of lifting the seat further from the ground, and it seems to find pleasing stance easier. Its alot weaker than the one above. Once the mould comes out a dry ill flex test it, and if it feels strong, ill consider this look.
 A brutalise flat nosed version of the one above. Weaker again.
 Another cool one. Strong as an ox its called the austrian tank. I like the common sense of it. But it seems like something you would find in a barn in the alps or a primary school house of the Austria. It doesn't connect to my original brief of capturing the language of a lonely bovine beast, meandering in a herd. Still to be considered.
 MMMMM. Not sure. If the structure was built in less lazy and mechanical manner, and with more love, such as real wood, and steam bent oak and some nice dovetails, id consider this, as the interest woudl be there. This is too void of something. Still dit it, a little bit sentinel like.
The fatty. This guy has been muching dortios and wathcing too much late night telly, his waist line growing as a consequence. Heavy in top, and gaunt in the legs, hes a top heavy cat that cant connect with balance.
