The short version of this chair/stool is based on one from a photo sent to me by a woodworker in Peru. He was asking for help in drawing the hoop and placing the spindles SketchUp so I did a tutorial on it for him. Anyway, I was thinking it's kind of an interesting project. The hoop could be made ala Thonet and Windsor chair building techniques would apply to placing the spindles. The back on the original chair and on my examples aren't very high but it would be easy enough to make the back higher. Might switch from a circular hoop to a more elliptical one. The one in the photo didn't have any stretchers between the legs but they seemed like a good idea to me. The seat could do with a bit of a butt scoop, too.
