Designed based on the works of the great George Nakashima, our Dovetail Bench has the quintessential Japanese minimalist aesthetic. The sleek lines are constructed using the venerable mitered dovetail joint. Equally attractive as they are strong, the mitered dovetail joints are additionally supported by the through mortise and tenon stretcher. A dovetailed tusk tenon gives tension to the stretcher joint while adding the final touch of decorative style. Crafted in the USA using Black Walnut and Padauk hardwood lumber.
