Padauk and Ash Bench
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Steve Barolow
Barlow used this padauk and ash bench to move away from rectilinear furniture and explore soft curves. The seat and legs were rough-cut on the bandsaw, and then refined with a router, carving gouges, rasps, and a disk sander. The stretcher is a bent lamination shaped with rasps and a sander. The mortise-and-tenon joinery was inspired by “Use an Angle Grinder to Sculpt Flowing Joinery” by Jere Williams (FWW #185). The bench is finished with five coats of hand-rubbed polyurethane.
