Rogowski Stool Stool Class
Rogowski Stool Class

This stool project first saw the light of day in 1978. Influenced by several Scandinavian and Chinese pieces, it’s been a favorite design to build through the years. Built entirely with through wedged tenons, it’s a design that is comfortable, timeless, and durable. It is however also a complex construction involving several important mortising and shaping jigs that each student will need to build. In this workshop you will learn mortising techniques, power and hand tool techniques for seat and leg shaping, and assembly techniques that will stand your hair on end. But it’s worth it in the end to build and finish this classic design.
