Top of stepstool is 9.25" x 14", Legs are 9.25" X 7.25" and .side braces are 1.5" x 11". Carve top of stepstool with your own design. Flip board to carve small inlay for legs and side braces. Carve legs and cut side braces to fit. I glue and use 4 pocket screws to hold legs and braces together (they are hidden by the top of stepstool). The pocket screws are drilled and screwed into edge of brace as the screw will go into the leg. I then glue and use 4 pocket screws to fasten top of stepstool to the base. I have made stepstools with a custom name on the side of legs before assembly. Finish sanding, stain and finish.
Beautiful photos! This would be a terrific gift for families with little ones!
