Curly Burl Redwood Bench with Inlaid Turquoise

That curly redwood looks great, especially with the natural legs. You did a nice job of bringing out the curly grain. How is the top attached to the legs?

We shaped a piece of 5/8 plywood to that of the bench, and made it smaller than the bench top so that it was not visible, then we bolted the plywood to the legs, and countersunk holes on the underside of the bench so that the redwood would set on the plywood and line up with the bolt tops. Then we used several 2” screws to attach the plywood to the bottom of the redwood….

Hope that made sense

Nice Project

Nice job. Did you inlay something in the center, or was it there naturally? It adds interest.

I forgot to mention that we inlaid a piece of maple burl in the center and accented it with turquoise

Tim and Candy,

Another incredible piece of art! Your really know how to take fabulous wood and make the most out of it. We can’t help but think that piece weighs a ton; it looks massive. Shipping must have been quite a challenge. Thanks, again, for sharing.
