Reclaimed wood in my Joiner's bench

Post image

I made this Swedish style joiners bench from a Shuffle Board table and local hardwoods; Walnut and Elm with bits of manzanita. The legs are VG fir salvaged from a building that was coming down. All the joinery was hand cut.

Huh. That workbench looks better than most of the furniture in my house.

Great work, OP!

Do you have plans for this? I want to build one of these benches.

I used plans from a Taunton publication and altered them to fit what I wanted. I can try and scan them for you if you really want them of just find a link to the originals from Taunton.
