6 Month Step Stool

not too long after jonah's first bath, i realized that kneeling at the edge of the tub was not going to be the most effective way for me to stay close by while he was playing in the tub. so, i designed this little step stool to serve two functions. first, erin and i can use it to sit beside the tub while jonah plays and splashes around. then, once he gets a little bigger, jonah can use it as a step to get up to his sink.

now, if you do the math, from jonah's first tub bath until now... 6 months. i'm pretty sure that that might just be a woodworking record. that's 3 months per step. God help me if i ever decide to build a ladder!

i'd like to send a huge shout out to my buddy adam king for his help perfecting the finish for this piece. adam is a studio furniture craftsman based in souther illinois. if you're in the market for a unique piece of furniture, adam is your man!

ps.
i'm hoping to have some professional photos taken of a few of my pieces to get a bit of a portfolio started. i'll update them as soon as i can.
