It is designed to make copies of complex shapes such as ax handles and gun stocks. Brad bought it from Coopersburg Handle Works when they went out of business in 1987. These machines are now considered obsolete in the industry as more computer based machines do this work. But as an artist, Brad has been able to push this machine in creative ways. It creates a unique surface texture, which would have been sanded down on the products of their original use, but he has utilized it to become BW's signature \"look\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeat Diameter, 13\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in 25\" counter height and 30\" bar height\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid cherry top, turned ash legs, steel ring footrest | \u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e | Handcrafted\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bradford Woodworking","offers":[{"title":"18\" (Dining Height)","offer_id":48403832078580,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25\" (Counter Height)","offer_id":48367190049012,"sku":"STL-AXH-CHR-25","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30\" (Bar Height)","offer_id":48367190081780,"sku":"STL-AXH-CHR-30","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/4691\/2756\/files\/stools.jpg?v=1780341354","url":"https:\/\/www.bradfordwoodworking.com\/products\/cherry-ax-handle-stool","provider":"Bradford Woodworking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
