RUSTIC LIVE EDGE "wee" bench and matching shelf

I think it’s a fine little bench, a real cuttie.

Very Nice! I really like the way the legs run thought the top.

I wish I had a log cabin, These would look great in one!

Just build one Terri- then we can fill it up! :) On the thinner slabs I have to use through tenons. I haven’t done a thick slab blind tenon in a while.

What a wonderful WEE bench and the wee shelf is great

In Scotland a wee stool is a “creepie”

So Alba, what you are saying is I made a “creepy” stool? LOL

Great job! Seems sooooo small by our standards but the workmanship looks superb! And, perfect for the bathroom. I guess our stuff has to go somewhere ;-)
Very good idea to finish in spar varnish.
Nice work, Kelly… hopefully she will want more!

Thanks Ellen (and everyone) , I don’t know about her wanting more, I just hope she wants THESE. LOL The shipping to Alberta Canada is horrendous. PS don’t you just LOVE my floors! I can’t believe how bad they look in photos. They look bad in real life- but NOT THAT BAD. LOL Hopefully will refinish next spring- after the spring litters of puppies have been here and gone.

That’s a cool addition to your work. Love the coat rack, shelf! You’ll be furnishing the whole house soon.

Nice looking rustic bench. Looks real sturdy with those tree branch legs, too.
How did you turn your tenons?
That with the shelf are a nice combination.

Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!

Jim- for tenons over 1 inch I use the Veritas tenon cutter. On this bench that was only the through tenons on the legs- through the top. For anything under one inch I always use a utility knife hand cut the tenons to fit the mortise. Also on the shelf- I had cut the pegs and whittled them to fit.

Wonderful looking wood, great job.

It looks awesome! :)
