$440.00

A lovely specimen of a Cherry Bench, cut in Kerhonksen, NY several years ago to prevent damage to a home. The long sweep of one of the live edges is a bit unusual and flows nicely into a branch hump. Something about it made it very appealing to my eye, perhaps the slight mixing of sapwood and heartwood creating that gentle contrast. 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. Would Make a lovely stool or a Bench, or whatever you like.
