I went and dug this slab out of the barn yesterday and made this little bench, put the final coat of finish on it just now (still using a junk camera, sorry)

The legs are simple, the ones under the crotch flair are wider than the ones on the other end. The stretcher is just 1/2 lapped in. I was going to put feet on them but anything I came up with looked out of place to me. It sits very stable, I am going to leave it as is.

That’s a beautiful B.W. piece. So beautiful, I think it would look perfect right over there (pointing to the corner of my home office)

Man, I guess what you do is, just cut out the ugly parts and viola! Another piece of “junk wood” salvaged by Daren the Great. Two thumbs way up!!

You couldn’t even let the finish dry? With looks like that, I don’t blame you. That looks sweet!

With grain like that, no further augmentation is needed. Bee-you-ti-ful!
