     As the object with many aspects of use, the stool has played the important role in everyday life since long time ago. Made up in various shapes and having symbolic, ceremonial and practical meaning, in the past times these seats were also significant ritual objects, used by chiefs, shamans and members of various tribes for centuries. With a suitable small size, stools were precious personal things, especially for people living in moving villages and for migrant nations, providing them refreshing moments of rest and preserving the memories of their motherlands. Nowadays, the stool remains to be a favorite widget, whether it serves as a seating for craftsmen, farmers and artists, or it’s being popular among the children and adults as both practical and decorative part of furniture.
     You can use many kinds of wood for making this Stool, but we recommend you to purchase some hard wood with nice texture like ash, beech, cedar, birch, maple, oak, pine, etc. If you are planning to paint the Planter, the texture of a selected wood is not important.   
     Make all the items precisely by the measurements given on particular 2D drawings. The measurements are given in millimeters, and the measurements in inches are given in brakes (1 inch = 25, 4 mm).
