Popular Post RichardA Posted September 26, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I made this bench for my mechanic, in payment for some auotmobile work I needed done. I made a profit from that trade. Curly Cherry and a live edge. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark J Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I thought you meant a workbench, but your mechanic better not do any work on that beauty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Excellent work Rick I really like it. Hopefully his wife does steal it that's far to nice for a mechanic shop . I'm jealous of that cherry. It has some nice curl and awesome color. What do you use for finish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part of the rip fence is for catching small stuff, like a double square, pencils note pads and any darn thing I might find use for. So it stays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be used near a door for shoe and boot removal. I hit it with 2 coats of Cherry Danish oil, then 3 coats of satin poly, and two coats of Johnson's paste wax. His house interior is rustic, that's the reason for the live edge, to maintain that "rustic" look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Very well done Rick! Nothing lives on my fence except my little finger when I rip a piece, with or without a push stick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 What’s the stack of lumber in the background going to grow up to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 On the out feed table is rough cut Cherry for a Reptile house for a nurse. On the wall is Maple for a desk in my house, unless someone with money wants something in Maple. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick don’t that make three curly cherry benchs? Sure does, that's the style he picked out, but now I'm out of Curly Cherry. Coop just told me he'll be here two weeks from today, so you better hit the shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
