40″ Long X 12″ Wide X 17″ Tall with Blind Spline Butt Joints
$460.00

A lovely specimen of a Cherry Bench, cut in Kerhonksen, NY several years ago to prevent damage to a home. This is a Sister Slab to Cherry Bench #6 and shares that same branching effect with even more active grain mixing. The blind spline joints are extremely strong and there is no wobble in this bench for sure! It’s rock solid which is why there is no need for gussets, stringers, or stabilizers and the joints almost seem too simple to work. All natural cracks and voids are epoxy filled and stabilized for a very smooth surface. In fact it has a ‘buttery’ feel to the wood. Finished simply with several coats of Tung oil and hand rubbed, this could also have Polyurethane added over the top if desired or just a hand rubbed wax. Cherry benches will darken and mellow over time if exposed to sunlight, giving a beautiful coloring. This bench is at a very comfortable sitting height.
