Rustic table now with benches

[AL37]

Following on from this thread,
viewtopic.php?f=44&t=18896" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The customer I eventualy found for the table asked if I could make some benches to match so here they are.
Keeping true to how I like to do things all recycled wood from the church organ.

They look good Al. Are there any hidden compartments like the table.

I did think about that Dom but didn't bother in the end.
I have just looked at that photo again and the look rather Dale Winton don't they.
I can honestly say they are not that orange to the naked eye.

The benches look great along with the table.Can i ask what joints u used for the rails?

[AL37]

Hi Demon,
They are mortice and tenon with a bolt to pull the tenon tight into the mortice.
The short rails on the legs already had them in so I made the long rail the same way.

Have you got a bench morticer or do you do them by hand ?
