Solid Hickory Bench

3/20/2017

Today,

Produced a solid hickory bench for an amazing couple! This piece will be in their family for generations. Good luck moving it though! It's 15"x18"x72" with a 2"thick solid Hickory seat.

This one took right at 7 hrs to produce. I planed down 8/4 Hickory for the seat and the legs. The skirt boards are 1x4 Hickory. Iused Kreg pocket screw jig for all joints except to laminate the seat, and that was done with a double row of #20 biscuits and Gorilla wood glue. All of the wood was supplied by Fine Lumber & Plywood in Austin TX.

Because some asked if I ever actually finish my work. 😁


I would love to create your one of a kind impossible to find custom piece.

John,

I also am a ME (UT Austin 1969). I live at 54 Sundown Pky. I recently lost three (3) very nice maple work tables and a beautiful ash gun cabinet in a house fire. Most were built for me by Helmut Hartmann; one by Helmut’s apprentice Tony McKinney. I am looking to replace everything. Please email (noted above) or call (512) 327-3969 (land line).

Thanks and Best,
Alan
