Live Face Bench

- I've had this cherry offcut from cutting a curved log into lumber in my shop for over two years and I've been wanting to make a bench out of it. The offcut tapers towards the center so I thought the thicker ends would make nice legs and the thinner center would give the piece some nice vertical movement.

Wow that bench came out really nice, the finish, the bow tie wood joint and everything! Very helpful video thanks for sharing!
The College Woodworker Thank you!!
Excellent job. Love the natural elements while still keeping the overall piece refined. Those are the best compromises of rough and beautiful.
Jake B Thank you Jake!
Saw the pic on the screen and the concept blew me away Looks fantastic!
Thank you!
Probably the coolest looking bench I have ever seen. Sweet job!
***** Thank you Chris!
Simple eloquent piece. I like how the legs splay out at the gentle angle and not just a 90 degree leg. Well done.
***** Thank you Michael!
Very nice, Matt. You are on a roll! Congrats with your editor's choice on the secretary by the way.
synapseZA Thank you so much!!! :)
Matt, you've got some really great direction with your creativity. It's good information to know as a newer wood worker you're thought process in designing a piece like this. Talking contrast, angles, and grain flow are learned skills that you make look second nature! Please keep sharing these ideas - or even how you came to know this stuff so us newer woodworkers can connect the dots. Thanks for sharing your life it's good information and great entertainment.
Jeff Wahlig Thank you, Jeff! This was a fun one since I was really building on the fly. I knew I had this thing and wanted to turn it into a bench. It really evolved as I went. Probably the most important thing is to always keep the grain in mind. That's where the real artistry comes in and sets your work apart from mass production where grain is not considered. Thanks again!
Very cool ,simplicity with a unique touch by adding the butterflies. Really like this piece.
That turned out really beautiful Matt. Love the different sized bow ties and the grain continuation.
Darbin Orvar Thank you Linn!
This is really something, I love it!
That is a piece of art. just beautiful.
Awesome work, the keys are a real nice touch. Well done.
Paul C Thank you Paul!
Very Nice. Love the design and finished product. My favorite aspect is that this scrap piece of Cherry is now a quality piece of furniture. The split, repaired with the inset walnut ties, is genius. Great to see a younger woodworker that gets it! Well done sir!
Island Dave Thank you so much!
Nice butterfly bandages Tree Doctor!
So beautiful, good work!
Very clever method glueing some sacrifice pieces for clamping and removing them later very easily and without hardly any remains!
Thank you!!
Your calm, straight forward approach to woodworking is a pleasure. I enjoyed the grain pattern preservation. In Philadelphia, we have what is called a Ginacotti--thats a pizza turned inside out. Your bench reminds me of that--LOL. And of course, our cheese steaks are pretty good too!
So Matt, when I make this observation I always sound snobbish, but here goes. There are craftsmen and there are artists. You obviously are the latter. This bench is a work of art. Nothing ornate or elaborate. Simple, functional, but the result is stunning. Of course I wouldn’t want to see it doomed to some museum behind red velvet ropes, but this piece has that intangible ingredient that differentiates craftwork from art.
Love the whole process of model making to decide on degree of angle BEFORE cutting into the slab. Sweet job
+rob maloney thanks Rob!
Well done!
Thank you Michael!
EXCELLENT JOB MATT.
Gorgeous. Great design well executed!
thank you Jim!
One of the few live edge creations I have seen that I actually like the look of. Nice work, great attention to detail.
Thank you!!
Man that's a unique bench. Well done.
+hendu3270 thank you!
Grain continuity is always so cool looking in projects! Nicely done Matt!
Marc Schaefermeyer Thank you Marc!
Outstanding workmanship.
Thank you!
Very nice !
Great design, love the splayed legs. The glued on clamping block were genius too, great way to clamp a difficult angle.
Awesome. Very nice looking bench.
Great job Matthew
I see the dog managed to get a lungful of lacquer at 6:34
Great job. I like how much you are in tune with the whole process. I enjoy learning from craftsman as yourself. Matthew Cremona
Thank you Juan!!
Man, this bench is the most!!!
I would buy it if I lived close to your neighborhood. Congrats!!!
Matthew You rogue . Beautifully dashed
Thanks Eryk!
Great build Matt......I really liked you explanation on the cedar cauls, very useful tip...
Jim Pell Thanks Jim!
Very inspired and inspiring. I have neither your tools nor skills but it's your creativity and passion that turn a good idea into a great bench. I can try to work that same attitude in the more simple projects I do and see what it does for my skill level and results. Thank you, Matt.
Man, that's awesome! Several great tricks in there for helping make your builds easier, too. Genius work!
Thanks!
This is stunning Matt - I love the contrast.
...and those dovetail keys? Ooophf, they did funny things to my trousers.
Toby Kennedy hahahahaha!! Thank you Toby!

Matt, a simple but beautiful design. Very well presented and a great idea to glue clamp hooks to the top surface! Thank you for sharing!
JM Tosses Thank you!!!

De nada você merece!
AH! A really good picture !!!!!
Nice work Matt
thanks for the idea
Came to your channel after your recent collaboration with April Wilkerson, and I am very glad I did. You have a refreshingly humble quality to your videos, and your work is really beautiful. Looking forward to more videos!
+Alex Clark thank you Alex!
This was just what I needed. I was wondering how to preserve bark. Now I know. Thanks Matt!
Nice project! Love the butterflies. Looking forward to the Red Oak vid.
johnsobj Thank you!! that's going to be a fun one!
Awesome Matt! You're an artist.
Thanks Martin!
Wow that turned out great, as always the narrative is informative and to the point.
Kelly Brown Thank you Kelly!
You are awesome matt..your work is always impressive and your videos are in great detail
Thank you!!
So good! The blocks for clamping is so clever. This bench doesn't look like it should stay together because of the angles, but you have obviously proved my intuition wrong. It's defying gravity to my eye.
tomalcolm Thank you! I think the illusion makes it a bit more interesting :)
Beautiful piece Matt! Love how the Dutchmen came out
Thank you!
Matthew Cremona Master Woodworker, with and without bark. The bench looks awsome Matt

Just found your channel. Lovely work and you zip through without a lot of clear messaging. Very nice.
SmokeFlame1 With a lot0of clear messaging that should read. I guess I'm the one who was unclear. Anyway it's a great looking bench.

Big ups. You do great work and I really enjoy the projects and let's see some big slabs.
Another great video! Your productions have improved greatly! Good work Matt!
John McNail Thank you John!!
This is awesome, Matt. I love the live edge look but your design has got me thinking about starting with a slab and cutting some kind of profile on the underside... Inspiring stuff! Warmest regards, Martin.
locohombre79 Thank you Martin! That would be a neat thing to do as well!
This is a really nice looking bench!
Your video production skills are really getting good, especially the shots you took displaying the piece.
Keep up the good work!
Kevin Engel Thank you Kevin!!!
The continued seasonal movement across the boards width will eventually cause the bark to break loose.
Amazing bench!
Felipe Del Papa Thank you Felipe!
