I wish I had some appleply or Baltic birch in the right size but I did not. but this let me try it out in cheaper plywood. I only mismeasured the center piece. not sure how I managed it but I did it. I had to cut it again and it was even worse plywood. but the mortises were perfect. I think good ply will look interesting with the 3d carving. I will post a finished picture tomorrow. I used 3/4" ply and the stool top is 12x8 I think and about 1' tall. the sides are also through tenons with a wedge.

Steve,

Nice design!

Did you bevel the mortises or are you just counting on the compression from the wedges to hold them tight?

I was going to taper the mortises but they were a tad loose on the thickness as I had planned on some 3/4" ply. but they are glued in and lengthwise they are very tight.
