Dry fit to see how the struts fit in. Ash legs, shagbark hickory horizontals, ebony pins. This view gives you more information than when the Danish cord seat is in place. It makes me want to redesign a bit and try it as a coffee table with a glass top.

This angle affords a better view of the shape of the struts. That's our friend Riley in the back.

Riley in his winter coat. He's looking right at you, it's just hard to tell.

Glued-up with a coat of tung oil, 50/50 with citrus thinner. It's just a sealer coat prior to having the seat done. The bench was accepted and will be my offering for the 2009 Furniture Masters' auction; more at www.furnituremasters.org. I love this piece but I especially love the low sunlight and the driveway with its missing thick coating of ice. Living near the coast, we are occasionally blessed with snow storms that turn to rain then ice.
