UPDATE = OCT 1999 -- The good & bad news is that these stools are all long gone! I've left these pictures and descriptions here just to serve as thought-provokers. Have an idea? E-mail me!

photo: 4 marudai

The four leg sets are (from left to right in the photo to the right):

All mirrors are apprx 10" in diameter and have a central "braiding hole"
of apprx 1 1/2" diameter

Sorry!  Not currently in stockThe assembled stools in the above photo display the four of the six mirrors which are turned from the biocomposite "granite":
1 "Sunset", 2 "Grey" and 1 "Midnight"

photo: downview - 3 "stools"

The biocomposite mirrors are
all 1" thick.


 

photo: "Sunset" mirrorThe "Sunset granite" has large warm brown and black specks.

"Sunset" biocomposite -- 1" thick
...sorry about photo being slightly out of focus -- the black & white fur in the background is our Border Collie Skye who walked thru -- the camera decided to focus on him! (?)

photo" "Grey" mirrorThe "Grey granite" mixes light gray and black and is a little coarser than "Sunset" in the "speck category".

"Grey" biocomposite -- 1" thick

The "Midnight" granite" is pictured in the "down shot" above and is "featured" on the main marudai page -- it's pretty much a solid black with a very small amount of "speckling"

 

The bases of the four assembled marudai are shown below in closeup:

 Red Oak -- 1 3/4" thick
"center depression" & rounded edges
(11" square)

 "Midnight granite" -- 1" thick
"center depression" & rounded edges
(11 1/2" square)

 Birdseye Maple -- 2" thick
chamfered sides
(10" square)

 Quilted Maple (sort of a "marbley" variation of "curly") -- 1 1/4" thick
"center depression" & chamfered sides
(10 1/4" square)

And finally, I have two more each mirrors and bases. Although pictured as "sets", these can be "mixed" with all of the above "components".

Purpleheart
The customer has ordered a set of 20" legs in Fishtail Oak to go with the Purpleheart Mirror and Base

 Maple
(there are *some* birdseyes...but not enuf to call it that <G>
 photo  photo

The Purpleheart mirror and base are both apprx 1" thick (base = 11 1/4" sq.)
Base has a "central depression" & chamfered edges (Note: I do have more of the same wide Purpleheart board, but it's NOT cut, turned and ready for braiding)

The Maple mirror and base are both apprx 2" thick
Base has "central depression", straight sides and rounded edges
NOTE: round Maple base = 10" diameter and would probably not provide enough side-to-side stability for a "tall" marudai.

You can calculate a particular "mix 'n match" stool height by simply adding the thicknesses of the mirror and base to the length of the chosen legs.


Pricing: The "basic" Marudai price is US$195.00 -- "basic" includes:

There is an "additional" charge of $20.00 for a set of legs over 18" ( 46 CM ) long.
Shipping/handling/insurance is $15.00
