Matthew’s splitting his log..

and what a splendid log!   Makes me greenwood with envy.  

As to the questions - I have a number of joyned stools - seat width of 11 inches
would just work.  With a moulding down the edges, you could use stock that is
getting thin at the edge, and get away with it.

Gluing ?  No - if it’s green it’s going to move.  You could have some success if
you add a spline though, and design the fixing to the frame to avoid any
shrinkage in width from pulling your joint apart.


- and  yes, we’d like photos of the entire process…
