Default The WoodWright's Shop - Three Legged Chair

"Sonny" wrote in message


Yesterday's airing of the WoodWright's Shop showed the
process of making a 3 legged stool (chair, seating).
They commented on the history of 3 legged seating, being
a standard long time ago, about 1300s - 1600s, I think it
was.


The nice things about three legs - be they table or chair or whatever - is
that they are always stable; i.e., all three legs are always on the floor
regardless of leg length or unevenness of the floor.
