I made the legs for this stool playing around on my new lathe, and they're as long as it can manage in its present configuration, which is about 420mm.
I'm not usually all that keen on staining wood; I'd rather just oil it and let the natural grain and colour come out. But this is made out of low-grade H4 treated pine, which has a rather unpleasant murky grey-green cast to it, so I coloured it to disguise that.
The stool is solid and comfortable to sit on, but aesthetically I think the legs could have done with another few degrees of rake.
