Q: What is Danish cord?
Danish cord is a twisted paper cord traditionally woven into chair and stool seats in a two-strand warp and weft pattern.
MK106 - Lee Valley MIY Danish Cord Stool Kit
This well-thought-out project kit includes everything you need to make it yourself.
While the skill development for this project is weaving with Danish cord, you will first need to assemble a 12" × 18" × 17 1/2" high stool frame made of ambrosia maple using loose tenons and glue, and finish it with a cream beeswax polish. You will then learn how to weave the top using Danish cord and L-shaped nails. The instructions show you how to do a classic two-strand warp and weft weave that is completed in three stages: the warp, the wrap and the weft. (Say that five times fast!)
Components of the kit are listed under the Specifications tab.
The stool can be completed in approximately 7 to 12 hours, over three days, plus 24 hours for the glue to cure. Suitable for the beginner to intermediate maker, 14 years and older.
You will also have access to the step-by-step video and a downloadable copy of the written instructions.
