Finally finished my scandavian style workbench.
Base is white oak with maple drawers
body of bench is hard maple
dog hole strip is white ash
tail vise caps and back board of curly maple
walnut support block in the dog leg vise and
mahogany for the dog leg vise
Going to enjoy working on this instead of that osb on a tubafor frame!
Very nice! Looks like it was quite a project in itself.
That it was, Ed. Wish I had tracked the hours (or maybe I'm glad I didn't?)
It was a lot of time and an awful lot of wood. The two maple slabs were
16/4, but I couldn't bring myself to plane them down to 2 1/2" like the
plans called for, so there's some extra heft in this beast. I do have a
bunch of nice offcuts from this!
