I thought it was Oak but it’s hard to tell most of the time.Yes all European Oak, generally that's all I work with, but misled you, made the bench late last year, I've no idea of how long it took to make, it was a special request (& I didn't want to charge for it) so did it as and when I had a bit of space on the bench and the time, but I had made one before and thankfully kept the templates.
Like you I prefer a challenging project rather than routine, but got to pay the bills somehow, again, really appreciate you sharing the info.
You have, from what you have said, established a reputation!
Cheers
Oh yes the bills have to be paid, fantastic you made that FOC, highly commendable.
I work for my dad who operates the business, I just make whatever drawing he’s puts in front of me, usually on a piece of lined A4 I’ll have a sketch with a height and width. (If i am lucky)
Big entrance gates is what I really enjoy doing (I get to do the metal work too so it’s a double bonus on the forge and anvil)
unfortunately they are few and far between due to the high cost. Can’t have it all though.
its a pleasure to share any knowledge I may have that’s of use, and it is also gratefully received.
