This bench is from a sycamore slab that used to be a table. I haven't put a finish on it yet, and still have to trim the feet.
I've been practicing Windsor chair joints lately. I love them. They're fun to turn, forgiving, and ingenious. I used glue on this, but I suspect it wasn't even needed.
The tenons into the bench are tapered and wedged.
I've been following Peter Galbert and have used his mirror technique for drilling the angled holes.
This project also helped me learn to use a lathe skew chisel.
I like these softer hardwoods. They're easier to cut, and plane.
