Introducing the stool which will be the second example to get the casting treatment. The basic premise being; find an old, battered stool, not fit for its intended purpose. Take an exact cast of it, recast in a new material thus preserving the shape/details perfectly but making a totally new useable object.
I really like the first version, (you can see them on my website), but it is top heavy, which is exaggerated when recast in resin and i find it a little small.
So, this is the new one, the Elm top is possibly late 1700's, i think the legs are replacements, but still very old. The weathering is amazing, it has a real ancient feeling, its really well balanced and a good height (380mm). Going to try and get the mould made this month.
I think it is going to be a good looking stool. You're right on the comparison with your other one. This has a more pleasing symmetry.
