Brian,
You did a good job with this bench. It is well designed.
Thanks for the post. I enjoyed looking at this project.

Sharp looking bench Brian, you do excellent work, I like the way you have left the Maloof joint exposed. I’ve always sculpted it flush but after seeing yours I like it this way.
Keep it up!! and thanks for sharing

Brian,
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
I do not understand the Maloof joint. Would you mind showing or telling us about the joinery? I looks to me as though there are sliding dovetail joints involved, but that impression probably reflects more on my lack of knowledge than on the actual joints used.
Thanks, in advance, for any elaboration you might provide.

Hi Brian, fancy seeing you here! The bench turned out great. It’ll look even nicer when that cherry darkens up. Maybe you should start calling this ‘Penning style’?
You should show these nice folks some of your rockers.
Cheers,

Thanks for all the compliments -it’s appreciated.
JohnR» the maloof joint isn’t really all that complicated. There are the corner joint and the side joints and both are more or less done in the same manner. You need to be able to cut a dado and have 2 router bits. A rabbet and a roundover bit.
The photo below shows a rocker seat with 2 legs(1 laying on the seat and 1 on the right).
You cut a dado in the side of the seat. Then you route both the top and bottom of the seat with the rabbet bit. I use a 1-1/4 dia rabbet bit.
To attach the legs you 1st cut them the width of the rabbeted seat joint. Then you dado the slot on the legs to the width and depth of the tongue on the seat joint.
The legs should slide into the seat until they get stopped by the radius left by the rabbeting of the seat.
All you have to do is roundover the section of the legs that will fit into the seat. I use a 5/8” roundover to match the raduis left by the rabbet bit.
Another view from the other side after the legs have been narrowed.
Another view after the leg has been epoxied on and screwed.
Corner joints are done the same but you only have 2 sides to work on.

Brian, that is an awesome design, really love it. One concern is the way the grain of the wood goes. Is this a potential disaster waiting to happen? Should you have oriented the wood in the seat in the opposite direction? Are you worried about the joints holding with a heavy person? If not, what’s your secret?
I love how you explained your joinery. Very nice!
Thanks for posting such a great design.
