This bench features a dyed and stained cherry structure, with a dyed and color glazed seating area made from curly maple. Sometimes called 'fiddelback' maple, the figure is very active with highlights and lowlights and strong contrast. A 1/2" thick ebonized 'foot' provides an accent where the bench meets the floor. The bench measures 43" L x 14" W x 17" H
Richard Helgeson
I have been building furniture and making
limited edition accessories since 1990. I received formal training in England, and currently share shop space in a cooperative studio in St. Paul, MN.
My work is a mixture of custom furniture and limited edition accessories. I have a line of jewelry boxes that are in stock and ready to ship. I also produce several set designs of small tables and benches.
In addition to the residential furniture and accessory pieces, I also have completed a number of liturgical commissions. I strive to produce designs and render pieces that are simple, nuanced, and enduring.
Top notch experience. Exceeded my expectations....stellar craftsmanship...my wife loved it! I would absolutely order from Richard again.
