Project Information

I really enjoyed making this simple, little bench after completing some more complex, larger projects recently. It was a refreshing change. The bench is qswo and measures 38" wide by 17' high by 16" deep. The finish is Jeff Jewitt's Stickley sample 6 to match the coat rack which LOML bought at a going out of business sale. She upholstered the cushion.

Thanks for looking and for any comments.

You've done nice job on the bench Art. I know what you mean about taking on a simpler project after several complicated ones. Kinda relaxing.

Art, as usual, beautifully executed and finished. I know you said it was simple, but I'm sure I'd find a way to make it difficult LOL Again, nice work!

That's a great looking A&C bench! You got the ray fleck to pop nicely, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of enjoyment from it!

Ha! I have the same area rug. Nice bench. Good to see you're not just laying around on the sofa…;)

Now when are you going to start that blog about your bow-arm Morris chair? Hint, hint…

Another fine piece Art!

When you mortice for your slats do you cut individual holes or do you use the "groove the rail and fill with spacers" trick?

I thank everyone for the kind comments.

Bill, I have seen your work with hand tools. This would be a piece of cake for you with electrons.

Steve, please take it down a notch, you're embarrassing me. :D

Captain, obviously, you have good taste. haha I have already blogged on that construction process, so nothing forthcoming in the foreseeable future. However, I am always happy to answer any questions you might have while you build your chair!

Splinter, the spindles were 3/4" by 3/4" so I drilled 3/8" holes in the rails with the drill press. Then I drilled the holes in the spindles with a dowel jig. I have never tried the hidden groove method.
