This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Wow! That is the nicest live edge projects that I have seen. Great craftsmanship and the way you explain what your process is makes your videos so enjoyable.
Man! Great job Shawn. The benchtop will eventually turn to an amber color. I like the amber a lot more than the yellow. The bench will probably look a little rough later if exposed to the elements, but I don’t think you will have to worry about swaying. It’s probably checked as much as it is going to. There are a lot of hundred year old Osage orange (bois d’ arc) fence posts in this area. Thanks for the mentions!
The link for floating shelves says it's not active... I'm very interested in getting the hardware. I wanted to use your link to help out.... you do some awesome work man. I'm just getting started making benches.... thank you for the videos keep it up buddy
MAN THAT CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL, I WOULD KEEP THAT IN THE HOUSE FOR SURE I WOULD HATE TO SEE IT GET ALL WEATHERED EVEN THOUGH THAT WOULD LOOK COOL TOO. GREAT VIDEO AND I REALLY LIKE THE WAY YOU WORK, THATS ART MAN THROW AWAY THE RULE BOOK. MOST PEOPEL WOULD HAVE HAD PLANS DRAWN UP, PRECUT AND DRY FIT EVERYTHING BUT I LIKE THE WAY YOU DID IT, IT MADE IT MORE UNIQUE.
Dude this is incredible. Am just starting out wood working well trying anyway doing stuff with live edge. Can a ask what angle u cut for the drop down live edge leg? And am guessing you could do live edge both sides?👍🏴
Oh please bring that inside! That is a piece of art and would hate for it to get destroyed or wear down. Great video and explanation. Thanks for making it! I plan to try something similar soon and this is a great help. Did you consider using biscuits or dominos to connect the slabs at the corners? Just wondering the benefit or burden of doing it that way.
Impressive and beautiful. One suggestion ? Cut your dowels a bit short (maybe 5/8" or so) and drive them below the surface. With a plug cutter, of the appropriate size, cut plugs, from scrap, and glue a plug in on top of the dowel. Orient the grain direction of the plug to match the grain of the wood, You still get the strength of the dowel plus you get a very subtle finished look (no visible end grain). Retired now but I built fancy staircases (as in "Gone With The Wind" style stuff) for 30 plus years and I've been building Resonator Guitars for the last eleven years. You do excellent work by the way. I loved this project. JP
Another possible option would be to inset the dowel and fill with black pigment epoxy for a contrast look. But I really like the piece and think you did a good job.
Nice work! Also no issues hearing your voice in this one. I have a tree in my driveway I'll be slabbing. I kinda wish I had the video stuff to document it better........
It was even delivered for free. Already made mulch and the smaller stuff is fire wood. Chainsaw needs some work as it was not playing nice today.........
The bench turned out great! I like the stepped tenon thing you did. And I like the look of the dowel pins. I agree with your sentiment of bringing it inside. If that was spar urethane, it might last a year. Did some of that on my house columns last year and the finish is flaking off this year.
Love that bench Very nice work. What sealer did you use im trying to find one that will keep the fresh cut yellow look any ideas, osage is very prone to darkening over time. Ted alexander sent me, he does awesome work to.
@@StoneandSonsWorkshop I have absolutely fallen in love with polyacrylic. I'm using it exclusively on tables and most other projects as well. Beautiful piece, by the way. :)
Great job! I grew up around Osage orange, we used the younger trees to split for fence posts. It cures so hard that it is said they will last for 75 +years untreated. Don't worry about where you put it.
@@StoneandSonsWorkshop Just because you extended the dowles to the surface doesn´t mean it´s not an internal joint. You could have done both without a problem with a slab like that. Would have helped with the gaps on the miter as well. One thing i always find sad is that sloppy work always gets excuses like it´s suits the project or something like that. A slab like that deserves in spite of the splits precision work. The wood saved you. Its a beautiful bench
Oscar Palacios-Flor... Bow ties are used to prevent existing spits from spreading open more. Sometimes you can squeeze a split together a bit more, clamp it in place then drive the ties into place therefore minimizing the size of the split. Happy woodworking
Nice work! I've been getting set up to do some milling out on our farm and have some nice black walnut set aside to mill and seeing this makes me want to set aside some Osage Orange (we call it Hedge) to mill also! Do you know how long your piece had been drying? I know once it's dry and ages it is incredibly tough and wears out cutting tools quick! What was your experience like working with it? Any noticeable additional wear on your blades or bits? Thanks for sharing this project, very inspiring work.
I love the use of through dowels to strengthen the join. I'm trying to decide if it would be a good idea on a similar project I have planned. I am concerned that it might split, when knocking in the dowels so close to the ends. Perhaps the cured epoxy prevented that? Was your timber slightly wet or was it fully dried?
No epoxy was used in this project, just wood glue. All the wood was dry. The holes were ever so slightly larger to allow for glue and prevent splitting.
The bench came out awesome! ! Love all the differences in the wood. And i agree with you that the bench came alive with that finish you applied. Actually what finish did you use? Shines lije a diamond in a goats ass! Lol you texans use that term alot dont you? Great job though. Your getting more skilled, i can see the transformation in every new video. Keep up the great work shawn. Till next video bud. God bless
+Joseph Robbins They run in and run out. Lol Plus, I only include them when they're fully interested and I don't make them come out here. There are some projects where you will start seeing them more. Thanks!

It really turned out fantastically! It really pops! Consultations on a unique piece of woodworking art.
+steve walker Wow... art. Thanks for that.

+Ted Alexander Thanks again, Ted. We love the way it came out.
I got a small Osage orange piece from Ted also and I am in the process of turning it into a bench as well. Great video and beautiful bench.
+Earl Ward from the source! I'm sure it will be beautiful
Sean When you put dowels in like that you should flute the sides part way up , so the glue will flow in those groves. Great looking bench.
+Protect your DIGITS Creations Yeah, kinda like the way I did the bow ties. Thanks!
This project is stunning. I wish I would’ve grabbed some of that orange Osage while I was there, but it wouldn’t fit on the plane! Great job Mr. Stone
+A Glimpse Inside Awe man. I wished you could've gotten some, too. Thanks man.
Very nice job. That Osage Orange is a pretty color wood. Take care and God bless.
+Ron Mack Thanks. It sure is. Same to you
Beautiful bench by a very talented craftsman.
Question: should you always remove bark off live edge?
The finish brought it to life bro sweet job

Gorgeous bench, the grain really popped with the finish
+Jeremiah Patrick Yes it did! I was very pleased. Thanks for watching.

Now that's a beautiful looking bench... I love it Sir!
+Daniel Smail Thanks!!
Great work. Dowels add a nice interest point.
+Barry Irwin I think so too. Thanks!
very cool piece. Nice video style as well.
It is absolutely magnificent ! Nice job there Shawn !
+Kevin Moulart Thank you!
Man that osage is beautiful stuff .. you did it some justice.
+Clyde Decker Thanks Clyde!
Looks amazing. I would definitely put it inside. To beautiful to be outside. Nice work.
+BBodwell Yeah, I think so too. Gotta make room.
Отличная идея 👍. Получил удовольствие от просмотра видео, и работы Мастера.

Awesome awesome awesome Shawn. The bench looks incredible that natural edge looks so sweet.
+Thom spillane I appreciate it Thom. Thanks for watching.
they way you did the dowels on the end looks like its one dowel put in at an angle.......nice
Thanks!
Blown away, Shawn! Beautiful project!
+Michael Lawing Thank you, Michael.
You done a very nice job on that.
+Branan Brown Thanks!
Awesome Job Shawn as always. How would I get one the hats you are wearing in this video?
+Chris Royer Thank you!! They are on my website at stoneandsons.net

That's turned out awesome looking. I'm gonna stay a subscriber keep up the good work
Thank you
This came out great! Beautiful bench man!
+DIY Dillon I appreciate it.
Real purty. Good example of letting the wood speak for itself.
Holy woodworking. That is a great looking bench. Good video too you have a great voice for narration
+Martin Madsen Thank you for the kind words. Thanks for watching.
That color explodes. That wood with brass hardware wood make great cabinets.
Looks great Shawn!
+Phillip Rowland Thanks so much.
Wow that Osage is amazing. Only seen one piece in Australia. Love the work.
+sam henderson It really is a pretty wood. Thanks.
I love this one! Good job!
+Valantis MappouRas me too. Thanks
Sumptuously!!!
But on the other hand it was possible to make not such “legs”, but something more interesting 😉
Nice work! Also no issues hearing your voice in this one. I have a tree in my driveway I'll be slabbing. I kinda wish I had the video stuff to document it better........
+wauhawk Thanks! Free wood!
It was even delivered for free. Already made mulch and the smaller stuff is fire wood. Chainsaw needs some work as it was not playing nice today.........
Beautiful work
Seeing the whole thing come together was amazing Shawn. That wood is so cool. It's like a piece of art. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
+Gary Jones Thanks, Gary! Calling this art is great compliment. Thanks again!
Wow! It looks fantastic. Great work!
+J Parra Thank you!
Wow! So artistic!
Thanks
Looks awesome!
Thank you
Great looking Bench. Just curious what are the 3 light on your belt sander for?
+Mike Mitchell Thanks! The lights are pressure indicators. They let you know how hard you are pressing down on the belt sander.
That bench looks awesome. Well done man.
+Greg Smith Thank you! It was a really fun build.
Looks Great !
+Clayton Beaver Thanks
Great build! Thanks!
+Henry Robinson Thanks
Nice job Shawn!
+John Graves Thanks man.
Beautiful piece. Don’t believe I could leave it outside either.
+notchbak I know. :/ thank you
Awesome job my friend! I thought it was a computer desk at first.
Thanks
Beautiful
Thanks!
very nice, greetings from Poland
Thanks!
I think you had a little too much fun! Well done.
A lot of fun! 😬
Looks amazing Shawn!👍 Awesome job!👊
+Fred McIntyre Thank you, Fred.
Gorgeous bench man, looks like it was a fun project!
+Chris Harpster One of my favorite builds to date. Thanks!
Nicely done, Shawn! Ted definitely hooked you up with a good one there!
+KSFWG Thanks, Dave! Ted is alright. ;)
Lovely work thanks

+Bruce A. Ulrich Thanks for watching, Bruce. It might become an indoor bench.
Beautiful 😊
Love that bench Very nice work. What sealer did you use im trying to find one that will keep the fresh cut yellow look
any ideas, osage is very prone to darkening over time.
Ted alexander sent me, he does awesome work to.
Thanks!! I used water based polycrylic by Minwax

That's an awesome bench, Shawn! The finish always brings a project to life, but this transformation was INCREDIBLE!
+Cross Cut Creations Thanks man! I appreciate you watching.
Looks great but some biscuits on the joint 45degrees from the bottom side will make glue up much easier
True, but I didn’t want any internal joinery.
@@StoneandSonsWorkshop Just because you extended the dowles to the surface doesn´t mean it´s not an internal joint. You could have done both without a problem with a slab like that. Would have helped with the gaps on the miter as well.

+David Smith Thank you
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
Look Great👍👍
+Allen Niemann Thank you!
Don't worry about the weather getting to it, I'll steal it, it's worth the trouble
Lol! Thanks
Looks good shawn! Love the yellowish colors awrsome grain patterns
+Joe basement woodworking Thanks, Joe. I think it turned out pretty good.
Enjoyed that, thank you.
Do bow-ties provide any other value than just aesthetics?
Oscar Palacios-Flor... Bow ties are used to prevent existing spits from spreading open more. Sometimes you can squeeze a split together a bit more, clamp it in place then drive the ties into place therefore minimizing the size of the split. Happy woodworking
Amazing job!
+Jason Watts Thank you!
Which kind of wood do you used?
fchiste60 it looks like Osage Orange/ bodark.
+fchiste60 yeah, Osage Orange.
+Phillip Rowland yes
WOW! Love it
What’s the name of the wood that you use ?
It’s hickory.
Very nice Shawn.
+Randy Wright Thanks!
Good job, I could not leave it outside.
+Mark Inmon thanks! I'm planning on moving it.

Amazing job!!! I really like the look of the live edge furniture and you did a great job with the design. Thanks for sharing!
+Vincent Alex Vigil Thank you!
You could fill in the gaps with epox e so that the rain doesn't get in.
the drilling to the legs kind of weaken the joint , i am not sure
That is absolutely beautiful. The only thing I wonder about is the thickness of the bowties.
Thanks. The bowties are thick enough to be effective.
Hope that was waterproof glue like a titebond 3
+James McGuire It was.
Great job :)
Bravo .great job. Come to Besiktas man!!!

Lol. I used a water based polycrylic
Bring it inside, the color will fade outside, probably develop a bow from the rain.
+Ian Johnson I gotta figure out a space for it. It might become a bench by the door.
Hi man lt'nice peeece i rely rely like it
yes super
How come we see Shawn Stone from Stone and Sons Workshop....but we never see the sons portion?....lol
+Joseph Robbins They run in and run out. Lol Plus, I only include them when they're fully interested and I don't make them come out here. There are some projects where you will start seeing them more. Thanks!
Magnífico, fantástico!
yourself woodworking project easy .
They call it water fall.. Nice job looks great . thankfully you didn't use. Ugly hairpin legs. People are. Loving these days
+African Cichlids thanks.
YOU A SOUTHERN BOI
yep
There are many similar projects in Woodglut's plans.
Super sexy wood btw . nice buy
One side is a piece of master job, the other side is awfully bad taste.
