    This contemporary sitting bench has an Egyptian feel and is built with contrasting woods. The Claro Walnut seat and Maple sides are joined with dovetails that are cut on the band saw. After the bench is glued and dried, it’s shaped to create flowing, drape-like curves on the inner and outer surfaces. The seat and the legs are rough-cut on the band saw, then hand-sculpted with a combination of electric and air-powered tools. Approximate dimensions: 11 inches wide x 26 inches long x 19 inches tall.
