Build a Reclaimed Bench
October 2 @ 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
$108 – $185
A bench can be a nice addition to your entryway, deck, porch, or garden. Properly selecting and preparing reused materials provides the opportunity to highlight the wood’s characteristics and color variations. This project introduces the participants to mortise and tenon joinery, edge gluing boards, and mixing oil & varnish to create a hand-rubbed finish. Learn how to select, prep, cut, glue-up, join, and assemble reclaimed wood to create a furniture piece. Participants will train on the miter saw and table saw to complete this project. Home ReSource provides all tools and materials.
Session 1: Tool & safety training; material selection; rough cutting.
Session 2: Joinery selection; cut mortise and tenon joinery; begin glue-ups.
