Mitred oak bench - how to make

In this client project i make a solid oak bench to sit alongside the Shoe Store project for putting on shoes.

Made with big mitred corners with walnut splines to help strengthen the joints...and to look good.

A very simple looking bench that belies the amount of work and skill level to achieve perfect mitres to the large thickness timber.

Finished with hardwax oil for a tough water resistant finish...

...looks great in the clients home.

With many thanks to the clients for a great project to build and their permission to upload this project.

Many thanks to Topher Mohr + Alex Elena for their funky tune 'Rubber Necking' available for free use through YouTubes creative suite.
