Reclaimed Oak Stool

I recently did the finishing touches on a stool/ end table I have been working on. The top of it was made a while ago but I was having trouble making a choice about the direction this piece would go. Initially I was planning on making an end table with a lower shelf. Then I found the legs you see in the pictures and my idea changed to maybe turning it into a stool. So here it is, the stool of indecision.

The top is layered oak panels that I reclaimed from a pallet. The pieces of purple heart I used as the inlay was a gift from my friends at Wishbone Woodworking in New York. The legs came off a chair I saved from the garbage collectors. It definitely took quite a lot of sanding and glue to bring them back to life. But I think they make a really nice addition to the whole piece.

The final step to this stool were the five coats of tongue oil, sanding in between each with some 320 grit.
