Was that your own design,or is there a plan somewhere for it ?
Thanks Tony

If you really need a plan, there's one that's quite similar in a book
called "The Complete Book of Woodworking: Detailed Plans for More Than
40 Fabulous Projects". (Available through Amazon, http://tinyurl.com/ywgymk)
Hhere's a picture of one I built using this plan (my first woodworking
project, actually) - the front stretchers on mine are curved, while
they're more angular in the book, but other than that the design is
very similar to the one in the book.

If you do use plywood for the sides, I'd strongly recommend using
baltic birch instead of the regular home center stuff; mine are edge-
banded on the visible surfaces.
And Stoutman, great job - nice looking stool; I'm sure your mom will
love it!
