"Agos" (Flow) stack laminated, steam bent bench designed and crafted 2018

Benji. Benji. Benji. The amazing Benji. I want to be like you. Your name comes up frequently when I’m talking to someone I meet, and the conversation leans towards stupendous craftsmen. This is stupendous. When I think of the giants I rub elbows with, here on LJs, you’re right up there in the top of the list.

Hi Benji
Congrats on your new grandson
Your work is always wonderfully surprising and unique and of course great workmanship. This piece is an amazing example of all of those principles.
Always a pleasure to see your post.

Very nice bench Benji

Everything you do is always amazing! This bench is no exception.

Just the day before yesterday I was looking through all your old projects posted on LJ and wondering when we would see a new one. (I particularly was looking at the chests, since I need to build one. Of course, I will make the usual straight box, because that is challenge enough for me at this point. But it does no harm to look at yours anyway.)

One thing troubles me about this bench. Maybe I should not say … If three friends are sitting there, the reverse curve means that they are not all where they can comfortably see each other’s faces. It’s a bench for a waiting room where people are not all talking to each other.

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship

Just tell people the trees grew that way, all you did was throw some finish on it.

WOW, amazing doesn’t quite cover it. Excellent work.

Thanks for posting.

Great Benji bench. A lot of Fine work! It’s definitely a work of art and looks like it should be desplayed in a private art collection.
