MaterialHand-hewn hardwood, pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery
Dimensions7.75" tall, 18" long x 6" wide plank top, 11.5" widest across splayed legs
ConditionGood vintage. Thick solid plank top with warm original patina, honest wear, scuffs, and a natural age check; pegged splayed legs, handhold slot original to the piece.

A humble, hard-working little stool hewn from a single thick plank, standing on four splayed round legs pegged through the top with visible mortise-and-tenon joinery — the kind of honest country construction you can read at a glance. A hand-cut slot through the center of the seat works as a carry handle, so it moves from room to room with one hand. Decades of use have left it with a warm, dry patina and all the dings and tool marks that make a primitive piece worth having. Perfect as a low foot stool or step, a riser for plants or stacked books, or a bit of sculptural texture in a farmhouse, cabin, or wabi-leaning room.
