Description: A sauna is often called the poor man's pharmacy as the bottom inscripton on this stool reads. Werner Savela of Tapiola has made about 15 of the multi-colored sauna stools for relatives but says he will probably not get into the stool business. Savela is a well-known graphic artist in the area. The message on the top of the stool reads, "While you're in our humble hut, let me bear your weary butt."
