Great bench. Its a classic but i like your take on it.

nice design and excellent work.

Are the inner cross-slats dadoed half-tenons (or whatever else might be the more appropriate name for this type of technique)? I’m assuming it’s more than just a dado since you’d be trying to glue end-grain to long/flat-grain?

Interesting approach here.

Pretty bench. I like this design.

-- Yves

well done… fundamentally simple build, but with classic look and form. Nice.

Any chance we can get a closer view of the joinery of the slats?

yea turning a board on edge will bring out its strength quality, as the fibers of the wood run up and down the tree, but turn the board sideways and the board would bend, nice design, when you start getting into using other woods, a bench like this could get even more exciting using some exotic wood, and get some really cool colors going on…so what is on the drawing board now..grizz

Grizz, My current project is a really exciting woodworking challenge. I’m hanging IKEA curtain rods in the basement. The customer on this particular project is very picky, but the rewards are very nice.

IKEA. My daughter move to germany and bought stuff here and picked it up at the store in Germany. Saved shiping to Germany.
