Finally finished! I documented this build on my blog. The DF was salvaged from a remodel I worked on. It’s probably from around the mid 1930’s. Walnut was bought. It has a wipe-on oil and urethane mix of three coats, satin sheen. The design was very spontaneous and took shape as I built. I see elements of Early American Colonial and Japanese. Stranger things have happened I suppose. I welcome any comments or questions.

Pretty cool piece. It’s an interesting touch, the wedges around the tenons being forked like that.

The next couple of projects I do are going to be from reclaimed lumber too. I have a small chest planned that will be from mahogany salvaged from some door jambs in an old house awhile back. Those have nail holes too. I want to do it real traditional though – Shaker style with dovetailed corners and a bracket base. My next few projects I want to be very traditional Shaker. This bench doesn’t really represent that but that’s okay.

That old growth quarter sawn fir is so cool, as are the wedges on the stretcher.

I followed your blog but didn’t understand the attachment for the stretchers. It is very clear now! Never saw that before but I really like it. The whole project turned out very well.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, it just doesn’t seem to get better than those classic Shaker designs (I think anyway) but I’d like to try some Mission stuff too.
