This is my personal workbench inwhich I learned how to create this spring semester at school. There are many features to this bench to the inlays, patternmakers vice, tail vice, that sweet accent of bubinga and the crystalized effect of using chrysacolla. I learned a great deal about engineering and joinery. This is my pride and joy.
medium – beech, bubinga, chrysacolla, petrfied wood, and metal
size – 88 in 35 in 28 in
date created – spring 2009
Not for Sale

That is a beautiful bench and I enjoy the look that the different woods add to it.
This is a bench that any of us would love to have in our shop.

John, you were off by 10k. It’s $30,000 not $20,000. So your birdhouse would need to be $60,000. This is definitely a nice bench.
Steve, if you sell this for $30,000 let me know how and where you sold it. I’d like to make a few at that price.

It was $20,000 when i first posted but it went up $ 10,000 shortly after , inflation i guess . Artist must charge about a thousand dollars an hr ?
I could fill up a shop with nice tools for $30,000 :)
