No hardware, just joinery... I designed these benches to use no screws, just really solid joinery, dowel, and glue. They will last a lifetime, perhaps several, and look absolutely gorgeous for a long time to come.
Both of these matching benches were made of solid reclaimed Cherry and finished with precat. lacquer in a dull finish. I would have preferred to finish them with hand-applied oil, but the client requested lacquer.
I'm currently planning to build an identical bench out of reclaimed Black or Claro Walnut with an inset black leather cushion. The bench will likely be 48"-60" long and finished with hand-applied oil and wax. Joinery will be identical to those above. Stay tuned...
There is no finer measure of a woodworker's skill than his ability to cut dovetails by hand. There are few on the planet who can cut dovetails this precisely and I'm fortunate to count the man who cut these among the members of my team. My guys are the best!
