A bench. Good
for sitting. At the end of a bed, good for
putting your clothes. Or putting on your shoes.
These benches can be made a little longer or
shorter. In cherry or walnut.
The
Still Pond Bench is named for a town on the
Eastern Shore in Maryland and is one of my
favorite pieces. It is simple and elegant. It
looks good in either cherry or black walnut. The
top floats on cleats attached to the base. The
tiger maple ripples like water and shimmers in
the light.
Still Pond Bench
Cherry base. Curly Maple seat
17"h x 49"w x 16"d
The
Wave bench is a composition in curves and angles.
The base is a slab of cherry ripped in two then
rejoined with cleats separated by a strip of
walnut set between the two boards. The rail
underneath the seat is curved at a reverse angle
to the seat.
The Wave Bench
Cherry with Black Walnut Accents
17"h x 52"w x 16"d
The
seat of the Wave Bench is 8/4 wood (2 inch thick)
cut in the middle at an angle and rejoined. A
series of internal tenons and walnut splines join
the two pieces It is then bandsawed and shaped to
its distinctive wave curve. The ends are capped
with angled breadboards.
