Crooked Branch

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.

There’s 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!

More details of our front hall bench. We particularly love the depth and shine of the wood grain.

Maple wood and shellac.

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

From commission photo to final product. We had fun interpreting this one! With a solid handle for comfortable grip and a slight upward tilt to the base of the scoop.
