Windsor stool in process

The stool is well on its way. I have completed most of the turning (some minor adjustments to be done) and reamed the holes for the legs. My self made reamer worked well I think. I am currently measuring and fitting stretchers.
Eventually the top of the legs will be split and wedged to create a strong joint.
The plan/article used is one from Michael Dunbar and was published in the Fine Woodworker magazine. This is a good opportunity to develop additional skills!

A start on a Windsor stool

Something completely new for me but I need a shop stool and the challenge is maybe why  I am doing this - apart from learning some new skills in a totally different (for me) kind of wood turning.

Here's what I have done so far. The blank was glued up out of 3 pieces of reclaimed Teak which is different to what would normally be used but I had the wood. The turning has been done and the holes for the legs drilled. This required to make a jig to help keeping the seat at a specific angle at the drill press.

A very basic jig knocked up to allow me to drill the holes in the seat. While the holes are pre-drilled a characteristic of the Windsor is that the holes are tapered to log the legs in place.
This led me to making the next jig.....

Here's my tapered reamer in process - I don't know how well this will work but I should be able report back next week. Final fitting and sharpening of the blade is required.

The pictorial process for this piece has been posted on Andrew's website
I do believe that this piece has showed me new form possibilities and has furthered my journey in woodturning.

Some more items on their way to being finished

Made from an unknown wood, about 200 mm (8") dia. Stained as the original colour was not anything special. Turned green therefore the wood movement. A different take on a natural edge.

This bowl developed a crack so it needed something to make it special! Made from Acacia and stained to bring out the grain. It's about 200 mm (8") dia.
