I made a little workbench for my workshop to have something more sturdy to work on. I do not have enough space for a proper workbench so I built this one at about 1 x 0.5 m top and 90 cm height on a big sawhorse structure.
For the top I first intended to make a lamination of several pieces of ash, but I received one naturally split board so I decided to use it as it is, even with the bark, as it looks very nicely. I may eventually replace or improve it, or remove the bark, but for now I will see how it will work this way.
The joinery of the legs and feet is inspired from the Nakashima dinning tables, then a trestle connecting them and a top piece joining all the four legs with mortise and wedged tenons.
Wood: ash. Finish: danish oil
