Walnut Arts & Crafts Bench
This bench was designed in the Arts and Crafts tradition. The Arts and Crafts design style is one of my favorites. The bench is made from solid walnut and finished with three coats of a clear finish and handrubbed for a quality surface. The bench can be used with or without a cushion. This bench can be made in a variety of domestic hardwoods such as cherry, oak, ash or maple. This design can be modified for many types of furniture, including sofa tables, end tables, and many others. Cushions are not provided.

For Wooden Case for Two Champagne Flutes5.0Dean's woodworking is some of the best I've seen in any context. I appreciated his thorough planning work at the design stage and constant communication through the building process. We incorporated most of his design suggestions in the plans, and I think he improved the project significantly beyond what I initially had in mind. I also received the final product several weeks ahead of schedule.
