Maloof Inspired Shoe Bench

Wow that is very nice…are those handles in the sides…if so looks like they are carved?

I was checking out your website last night Scott…you do inspirational work. Looks like i will be placing an order soon!

Just a beautiful piece the Rosewood should age like a fine wine…thanks for showing…BC

Gorgeous little bench. I was also wondering about the handles.

Thanks my friends.

The handles are solid rosewood and are actually part of the side of the bench, made to appear as though sculpted from the flat sides. It’s a cool little trick that Sam showed me and I will be demonstrating in the video. Unusual method of woodworking, but worth it as the final project inspires attention and many questions…as you have seen.

Thank you again…

I like the design on that. The rosewood is beautiful.

Very beautiful work Scott. The design, wood and finish are all exceptional. It definitely has “Maloof” written all over it.

Wow!...This is something very different, in design and the carrying handle look like “in-plant”.
Excellent workmanship, Scott!

What a beautiful piece.

-- Style is simple, but not my execution of it.

Another great piece Scott. Way too small for Norway though. We usually need at least 3 pairs of shoes each ready to put on. Which pair we choose depends on the weather, what we are doing or where we are going.

Isn’t Sam’s hope amazing.You can’t help but walk away inspired.

Scott, that is a great looking project.very professional looking work ! I haven’t had the pleasure of working with rosewood,how do like it’s characteristics ? Also can’t tell from the pics what the dimensions are and if it’s design to sit on or just house shoes only? I like the look of the finish as well, very soft looking feel to it . Once again beautiful piece and keep them comming !
