Testing our new branding iron! Forgot to spritz the wood with water first but we kind of love the burnt effect around the letters.

Putting a finish on wood helps protect it and also brings out the stunning grain.

Thereβs something incredibly satisfying about the smooth sound of hand planing, and of course the resulting curled wood shavings.

Thank you! Yes to the draw knife for most of it with the addition of some spokeshaving. When we made this we only had a regular bench so we used a vise and hold fasts. We just made a shave horse though, and find that it works very well even for shorter legs!

We finished this front hall shoe bench recently with hand cut spindles and traditional joinery. Maple wood and shellac for a traditional craftsman piece.
