Hall Bench

Project by akstudio posted 99 days ago 398 views 3 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a hall bench made from Mahogany and features hand painted Ginkgo leaves on the front rail. The legs and arms are all shaped by hand using a custom made compass plane and chair scrape. The overall form was derived from the silhouette of a Tori gate at sunset.

I like this. You have a great appreciation for detail. The upholstery seems perfect and the little ‘cloud lift’ at the front bar tenon is beautiful.

Art at it’s finest. What type of joints do you have between legs & cross-rail?

Thanks everyone. It means a lot to hear your thoughts. The painting was done by a very talented friend of mine. The joinery for the leg/aprons are traditional mortise and tenon. Thanks again.
