Bar Stool
Dec 16, 2011
Laminated and steam bent barstool in maple. It is stronger than what it seems. It has been tested with 350 pounds (150Kg) with no problems. The height is custom made, to seat in a 3,6 ft. bench.

OH MY GOODNESS. I think that is astounding! Way to re-envision! It looks like the bar stool has had one too many. I really like it. It would be interesting (but heartbreaking) to find the capacity of this chair and compare it to a conventional one. Even though the center of gravity and leg splay are major factors in stability, I wonder, does the forward leg angle reduce stability in forward rocking?
Thanks for your comment. Maple is pretty easy to work, and has very good properties regarding resistance. Using a strong glue you add to your shape a lot of stiffness. In this stool I've used Titebond III. Stability is pretty good. If a really big person would order me one I would add one more layer of wood.... And for shure I would test it with at least double of his weight.
I would love to see the actual finished product.
