A Shaker stool

After a visit to Kentucky and the gift shop at the Shaker Museum at South Union, I developed a fondness for the shaker foot stool. Though I lacked practical need for a foot stool, I wrestled with the decision of buying one. After a careful looksee, Nate took inventory of the stool's components and filed it away in his brain. I didn't purchase the stool, but we did leave with a book about how to build Shaker Furniture, called How to Build Shaker Furniture.

For my 24th birthday, Nate surprised me with a hand-made shaker foot stool. (This is also the birthday for which he made me a dinosaur bicycle skirt--picture unavailable!)
