>Here is a photo of a step stool made recently. The steps are joined to the sides with blind dados and nails. The cross members are joined with dovetails and nails (see additional picture). The finish is slate blue milk paint and acrylic.

Re: finish?
George Huron
>It is milk paint made by the old fashioned milk paint company with a topcoat of the acrylic that they recommend (and manufacture). It is a much harder paint than a latex.
