Handcrafted Solid White Ash Himes Bench 60"L by Mary Ratcliffe Studio

Each of the six parts that make up this piece fit into one and other and are held together using these forces of strength and stability. This bench features a through tenon connection between its legs and top creating a stunning contrast in grain and a clean design detail. Additionally a subtle angled cut adds interest to and comfort to the bench seat. Customized lengths available.
We work with North American solid hardwoods on a made-to-order fabrication basis. The images and pricing above illustrate our use of flat cut white ash in a variety of stains. Additional offerings in white oak, dark oak, walnut & hard maple are available, with different finish oils & stains at our disposal.
Please reach out for any customizations to species, stains, or leather quality. We are more than happy to provide more information and pricing as per your specifications.
