Stump stool
The stump stool references the unintended charm of improvised axe blocks, used throughout the world for hundreds of years. A work surface on which wood is chopped, split or carved, axe blocks must be durable and, above all, stable.
Materials: Ash tree stump and offcut blocks.
Designer: Rickard Whittingham
