Well, here’s the last photos of the Shaker benches. I hope you enjoy them. I don’t mind the sap wood as you can see. It can act as a real accent. I have been bad about getting finish photos of my work before it leaves the shop, and I always deeply regret it.
Once again thanks to Martin for upgrading the capacity for the photos. I wouldn’t have been able to load these. – The really good stuff is coming.

Todd – very nice! I also like the sap wood which adds an interesting accent. Cherry is such beautiful wood. Looking forward to “the really good stuff”!

very nice. I like the through dovetails on the front of the drawers, nice detail. I can see why people are wanting you to make more of these, every home would be better with one.

A nice design Todd, a bench with drawers. And dovetailed ones at that!
Are these benches for the hallways, or kitchen table area?

The area most people are using these is at the entryway. Scooting a bench in and out at the dinner table would probably cause the drawers to shift out. There’s a thought when designing.

Could put a magnet at the back of the drawer, or figure out a way to engineer a drawer stop. At the table, they’d provide a perfect place for the kids to hide their vegetables!

I think you are right about the magnet. I use rare earth magnets quite frequently.

Just read your message to me so I had to go and look at your work Thumbsup. Didn’t know That there was other craftsmanout here in Montana, but by golly there is. I do know dana and would probably recognize the truck. Maybeone day we can connect and look aour work in person but not to close, I am sure that you could find a few mistakes with my projects. later Stevie-D in Big T.
