I know these can be sensitive questions, what cost is the timber for an item like this and where do you go about buying it. Did you buy the timber finished / sized or do it yourself. Is it mahogany?

thanks in advance

Unless I'm misreading, I think Alex meant WIP - work in progress photos. It's good to share

That's a nice bench. Not too sure about all the verticals underneath the seat but I do like it.

What technique did you use to make all those tenons?

 

[dessoman]

I have no work in progress(to busy at work),as for the wood for this bench I got it for nothing but the cost would have been about £200.
Yes the bench is built in maghony.
To make the mortices I used my morticer

As for the tenons I used my deft T50 Table saw with stack dado blades
