My daughters needed stools to brush their teeth. We had trouble finding one that was wide enough for the both of them. My generous neighbor gave me a thick piece of mahogany(?) and I thought it would be perfect for the piece.

The piece was too thick to cut through completely with the table saw. I finished the cut by hand with a pull saw.

Took a while to halve the slab. I couldn’t seem to get all of the dominos out of the board.

I joined the two pieces with some wood glue and a half lap joint to make one longer board for the top.

I cut some of the dovetails on the band saw. And the angled ones by hand.

I made some dados(?) to hold some runners under the top plank.

Glue up after the top dove tails are complete.

Wood pegs were used to help with strength to join the smaller step.
