Modified Nantucket Bench

This is a bench made in a modified Nantucket style. The customer requested the bottom brace be made into a bookshelf, a mortis and tenon joint and clean, straight lines add a touch of classic New England style.

The top is made of rough hewn Black Ash milled locally around 1960.

Price: $275.00 (SOLD)



A little black box with me poems in it...

Box made of rough hewn Black Ash, milled circa 1960. Hardware chemically aged and distressed. The wood was "cupped" (the edges of the board were curled up), so I built the sides, bottom and lid match up with the cupping.

Price: $225.00 (SOLD)
