In my mind, one of the great joys of building something yourself is getting to work with and learn about a variety of materials. As you can see, the stool featured here has a rather rudimentary design, and that’s no bad thing. The basic joints allow the stool to instead lean into its two unique materials: the baubuche legs and woven cane seat.
Baubuche is a laminated sheet good made from layers of European beech. For those who may need to brush up on their , the word “baubuche” translates literally from German to “building beech.” It’s grown in popularity in recent years, being used for anything from butcher blocks to bar tops to construction timbers.
