“Stick” Bench
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Hank Gilpin
Gilpin likes making benches as a relief from the pressure and complexity of larger pieces. This elm bench gave him a chance to “play around with sticks of wood.” “After a four- or five-week stretch on a large cabinet or desk,” says Gilpin, “nothing satifies me more than an idea taken from a rough sketch to completion in the wink of an eye.” Gilpin exaggerates, as most of his benches take as much time to complete as a small table.
