11 years ago I bought some black walnut for dirt cheap. Note the piece on the far right. I thought that was an interesting piece at the time, but never know what I would use it for.
The bench is 60" long for reference.
Some cleanup
Crosscut on the slider
Then off to the bandsaw
Some resawing
Planning out the top, the void will be filled with epoxy
Filling knots with epoxy tinted black
Flattening another piece for leg stock which was too wide for my jointer.
Made a form for the epoxy pour
Metallic pigments
Parts planned out. I had some fun with the grain on this one.
I had to laminate some pieces to get the grain that I wanted and the thickness that I wanted.
The bottom piece is a left-right bookmatch.
Leg stock
The 3 show faces. The other face will go against the couch.
