Project Information

A very nice lady by the name of Grace asked if I could build her a couple of weaving benches. I agreed to look one over and get back to her. I was intrigued by it's simple design and the canvas bags that hang off each end(for scraps and shuttles I guess). I really love a challenge so I dove in. After looking over the original I made my plan with changes to make it my own. I used my old favorite , white ash. Everything but the seat and stretcher is inch and a half stock,with 3/4 stock on the rest. They ended up being pretty heavy duty but anyone could use them regardless of size. I bought heavy weight canvas at the local fabric store and YES I even sewed the bags for the ends of the benches. Not the best sewing job but they turned out very functional. She was very happy with the final product and thats the important part!

Nice clean lines. Looks very sturdy. I'm sure she'll get alot of use out of these.

Did you bolt them so that if in the future you can pack them flat? White ash, it is a lovely wood, hard to find here in the Seattle area.
