Split Top Roubo Bench
May 06, 2011
My Roubo Bench I recently made. Bench is solid Ash with Bubingua Accents and Benchcrafted Vise Hardware. Shelf is Pecan. Finish is Tung Oil.
This is my Split Top Roubo Bench based upon the Benchcrafted Plan. I made some slight modifications to the basic plan with regard to size. I used Ash with Bubingua accents. Leg Vise Chop and Tail Vise utilize Bubingua and Benchcrafted Hardware. I made the shelf out of Pecan. Finish is Tung Oil. Vise action is very smoth. Weight is about 350 lbs.

Beautiful, handsome color contrast too and nice hardware.
Indeed a nice bench. Thanks for sharing. What are the dimensions? I've always been curious about this...why a split top?
Dimensions of my Bench are 72" x 30". The Bench is based on the 17th Century Roubo Woodworking Bench. I purchased the plans from Benchcrafted and modified them for my needs. You basically can use the center section (in the split) to help hold stock and hand plane boards against or you can flip the center section over and you have a flush top. Both actions of the leg and tail vise spin freely and clamp securely. I am happy you like it. Thank You
