Well I am finally back/able to look and post to the group again.

Anyway I built this stool for a customer, he wanted to give it to his wife
for their wedding anniversary and to replace the tired and worn out one.

the stool was designed on Sketchup and presented to the customer for
approval.

The stool is mainly maple but I added walnut trim and on the exterior
surfaces of the aprons and legs I added Quilted Maple veneer that I cut
from a piece of 3x3x36" Quilted maple. I cut the 3/32" veneers on my Laguna
band saw and went straight to the stool parts for glue up, no prep sanding
needed for the glue up.

Beautiful job Leon. I like the walnut trim.
I'm sure the wife was very happy to receive the stool.

Thank you.
Actually I am still setting on it, so to speak, this anniversary present
gets delivered in a week or two.

Go ahead, post the SU file/pdf you showed me before you actually built the
table so we can compare how well you executed your plan!

Very neat. I notice that the quilting runs perpendicular to the grain; is
that typical for quilted maple? [Guess I either haven't played with enough
quilted maple, or I wasn't paying attention]

Well actually I had my head elsewhere when I posted the description of the
wood. It is actually Tiger Maple, hence the stripes. I must have been
thinking about a large hunk of "Quilted Maple that I received as a gift
from a very very good friend.
But to answer your question the Tiger Stripes can run perpendicular to the
grain. It kinda makes you think about which direction to sand the piece.
;~)

Thank you

Thank you. The top has a piece of 1/2" Baltic Birch plywood covered with 2"
thick dense foam rubber, covered with batting, and then covered with a heavy
grey/beige fabric.

As a side note here, I originally was only going to use regular Maple and
Walnut. When I applied a wood material finish to the Sketchup drawing it
strongly resembled Tiger Maple. It so happened I had a 3x3x36" Tiger Maple
table leg blank that I have been saving for the right veneer project. If
you take a look at the post, Make-up Counter Stool PDF File, you will see a
strong resemblance of the drawing and the final product. Be careful the PDF
is pretty big.
