Basswood, Beech, Holly, and Cyprus Bench
EVAN COURT
Portland, Maine
Court explored the use of shapes and colors when he made this bench. The sides, which are solid basswood, were shaped with a dado set on the tablesaw and then handplanes. He painted the piece and applied decorative paper to the seats. “I chose to include a drawer between the seats as I feel the immediate instinct by us humans is to want to open small drawers or compartments. Why must we know what’s inside so badly?”
