Is that how your avatar came to be? Are you a paint splat?

Uuuuh... it's kinda embarassing... I...uh...I kind of indulge in... uh... makingmyownfurnituremyself... but not that often & I know I can control it & stop anytime I want, see? So I've been making those stools & benches & whatnot & then they look much better (if possible) in black. (there, I said it after all).
As for the style --you probably want to know-- they're Louis XXII or Henry LXXIV, of course!

wow, i'm impressed !! making your own furniture in a paris appartment ?? you're a brave man (and your wife is really nice to put up with that...

). can we see some photos of these stools and benches ?

so, do you ever make any to sell ? more importantly, do you do furniture repairs ? i ask this sincerely : i have a wooden piano stool (with the seat on a threaded wooden screw to adjust the height by turning it) but one leg is shorter than the other 2 (it looks like a dog chewed it. i don't know for sure : i found it in the street). so it's a little unstable and it's really easy to fall off it...

i'd love to get it fixed but i've no idea how to do that myself.

It's very simple furniture, & no you can't

You wouldn't dream of selling those

I can have a look --obviously it's more a job for a professinal like yvanleterrible... but...
