Because of space restrictions in my shop I don’t have room for this bench so I am offering it for sale. Just in time for the gift giving season. This is a fairly faithful copy of an original bench from 18th century France made with American hardwoods, red birch top, maple legs stretchers, storage shelf boards, and the drawer is constructed of pine with a maple bottom.
Measures 32″ wide, 96″ long, and 36″ tall according to my scale. All joinery techniques are examples of the original and it is glued together with Fish Glue. Is fully assembled and comes with chisel rack, crochet, iron hook in wooden dog, holdfast, grease cup [with screw/nail grease {beeswax & tallow}], and dovetailed drawer.
I did speculate as to how the drawer was hung from the bench and I used a method I had done on an earlier bench I made, it is a full extension drawer. Keyhole and half mortise lock plate.
Price $400.00 US, F.O.B. Salt Lake City, Utah.
Shipping to any United States destination estimated to be $11.00 Medium Flat Rate Box.
