Handcarved Southwest Bench
Sep 16, 2010
This red oak bench is 60″ wide and 36″ high. It was my first attempt at carving using whatever chisels I had on hand, including some from my lathe. ( Time to invest in some real carving chisels.) All the joints are mortise and tenon. The stain is custom mixed, and finished with 3 coats of satin polyeurathane.

Great Look, Roger. Your carving is beautiful.....hope you do more. I like the design of your bench plus the balance it has....good composition. Job well done!
You'll enjoy carving more with some proper tools. When you get them invest some time in learning how to sharpen them...the other part of making carving enjoyable.
Your design suits your project.Southwest style overwhelms some projects, but your take on this bench works for me.
