I saw this style of bench somewhere and designed it to fit my needs. I was about to take the seat in for upholstery when I came across this slab – I planed it down and fit it to the top (floating) – went from a “boot bench” to an interesting piece of furniture. (finished w three coats of poly)

Very nice use of a slab. I’ve got a half a dozen of them I might try something like that.

Very nice looking color and design. It’s great you don’t get locked into having to create something that is perfectly symetrical. Freeform is an an artists choice. jockmike

Hi Schroeder;
—-yes that slab is very beautiful and the use of the walnut makes the color even better!
Kind of like re-cycled ‘wood art’ in the process of becoming a created new again bench.
GODSPEED,
Frank

Schroeder,
I like the looks of this bench and the use of the natural shape of the seat. I have some slabs of walnut about like that. Its given me some ideas.

Thanks all – I hate to admit this, but really I was mostly being cheap. At the time, I would have had to pay for upholstery, and I had access to the slab so…

I like the mix in style, craftsman with “natural slab”. It would look good in my entry way…..

Very interesting combination of the formal with the informal; sort of Arts & Crafts with a twist.
