Mission trestle bench with keyed tenons crafted in quartersawn white oak. Only through a laborious four-step process is it possible to bring out the figure of the wood in this striking fashion. This bench was designed to provide additional seating around a large custom table of similar style
Detail: These leaves are handcut from solid sheet brass (or copper, or nickel silver) and carefully inlaid into the wood. Though this particular bench is finished with a hand-rubbed oil varnish it is almost impossible to discern by feel alone where the brass ends and the wood begins.
