This series is a little different from many of our other video workshops. Our original intention was to capture David Johnson’s weaving on video to help drive home the concepts in his article “How to weave a seat with Danish cord” in the Sept./Oct. 2020 issue of Fine Woodworking. While we were there, we thought it would be fun to capture the full build.
David’s stool is fairly simple and there aren’t plans available. This series is more about giving a glimpse into David’s workflow, not just the techniques he uses in his woven seats, but as a woodworker and designer as well. We hope you enjoy it.
In the conclusion of this series, David fills in the left-to-right weave, or weft pattern, of the woven Danish cord seat.
About David: David Johnson graduated from the College of the Redwoods in 1997, studying under James Krenov.…

I like this format.
It is not necessary for every video to be a tutorial, but it is necessary that they show technique.
This is more entertaining than tutorial style work but still I feel confident that if I wanted to have a go at Danish weaving, I would need to look no further.
Plans would add little to this series - it would not be hard to reproduce something like this.
It was also good to see someone with a different perspective on finish and with a different opinion on sanding/tool marks.
Thank you.
Well done, this is something i would not usually think about doing or try but the project looks enticing. You have made the weaving look reasonably simple. Thank you for a new project idea.
A fascinating tutorial - this is something that I am interested in trying sometime.
