Shaker-style Bench Seat Gallery
Welcome to the Shaker-style Bench Seat community gallery. You can watch Paul’s introduction to the project here.
Here’s Paul’s example…
Shaker style bench by wyattsa
I used white for the spindles, ash for the legs, and SYP for the seat. The finish is a crackled milk paint.

Oak legs, hard maple spindles, cherry for the rest. Started on July 2019, finished just before New Year’s Eve. Several months’ worth of free time I can grab here and there. Formed the legs with spokeshaves. Made a bungee lathe (ala Richard Maguire’s) and learned to turn for the spindles. Made a hollowing plane and wooden spokeshave too. All for this bench. A long journey for me, but, oh I learned so much. Thanks Mr. Sellers. I would not have attempted this without your detailed videos.
Thank you to everyone who has sent a picture in!
