Yes, this was meant t be a mock up to check proportions, angles and measures of this meditation bench also called "seiza bench". It is commonly used by westerners that cannot sit crosslegged comfortably.
As I say it satarted as a mock-up but I got carried away and it ended being a finished project. I even used it to brush up my letter carving technique, which I have neglegted for too long and I carved the OM word on it.
The wood is Embero or M'bero (Lovoa brownii Sprague, Lovoa trichilioides Harms Syn) I had some scraps laying around and I wanted to give them a better use.
The finish is tung oil applied with a cloth.
No pics of the process, I'm sorry to say, but as I plan to make another one a bit bigger, changing the foot (which I do not like)it is my intention to even make a video of that one.
Comments critics and suggestions are welcome as always.
