These pine benches are based on measured museum pieces that would have been found in the Shaker community of Hancock, Mass around 1830.

I have made these in 3 and 4 foot lengths, but other lengths are also possible.

The curved support pieces are not only attractive, but are slotted into the … legs, giving this lightweight bench plenty of strength.

The seat is held in place with a glue joint groove that the leg fits into across the width of the bench, but eight matching wood-plugged screws were used to hold everything together.

Other wood species could be used.
