these are some pic’s of my most recent modifcation of my standard bench design, there done out of honduras mahogany and finished with three coats of teak oil . on this version i lightend the arms and made the seat depth a little shorter as per the clients reuest, they loved them, after making over seventyfive benches i still dont get tired of making these little darlings i just keep modifing the design mabe some day i will get the perfect bench ,but what fun would that be ? —michaeljon.woodworker

Wow these are beautiful benches.Great job. I would really love to know where you guys on here get all the lumber? It must cost a fortune. I know that if I was to purchase that kind of lumber here in Newfoundland it would break my bank account.
