    Default another carved bench

    Here is a simple rustic bench - someone saw my cherry three seater and wanted a larger, back-less version.

    Wormy maple, turned the legs on my hydraulic copy lathe and sanded some flats to resemble pcs of log.

    The seat is 84" by 19"

    Andrew, the shape of your seat reminded me immediately of the shape of some of the more expensive ($350-400) wheelchair cushions that are offered to improve upper body stability for paras and quads. You don't make them in closed cell foam and silicon gel do you? Nice.

    SCott, I have never tried to do anything other than wood... the only people I know well who use a wheelchair do not live close to me, otherwise I would have probably tried already...

    Again, if anyone wants a copy of my seat carve file just ask (email is best).

    Another nice piece, Andrew!
    Does your carving file extend down the front edge of leg areas to the left and right of the pommel, or do you simply contour it manually when sanding?
