Those are some mighty fine looking benches Monte. The joint in the water fall bench is nice and tight. Did you use dowel’s or biscuit’s in the joint?

Very well done. The character of the grain shows the whole story.

I like that you put the joint right in the middle of that limb. It gives the impression that the limb is more round… like it would be on the tree.

Job well done, I like the joints with the grain match you did, on the leg end of the beach.

Wow Monte,
Spot on! with your joinery. Hope you have a place to put everything before you sell it? LOL!

Great work Monte, both artistically and technically. The waterfall edge is nice and I like the inlaid butterfly joints also!

I use dowels. I am still too cheap to buy a domino cutter.

Nice work, Monte. Those sure are sturdy benches. I saw some benches in Shipshewana, Ind. that I’d like to make from timber like that. The Amish make all the furniture there. They had cut dovetails into the bottom of the slabs and fitted the legs into the dovetails. I’m still thinking on how I can cut them that big??
Cheers, Jim
