Long Bench with Squiggle and Knot

from $1,055.00

18” H x 11.25” W x 52” L

The Long Bench with Squiggle and Knot is a modernized version of the classic Shaker bench. Made from locally made and reclaimed semi-trailer bed material, a combination of solid red + white oak, with octagonal white oak legs that are attached with a wedged through tenon. A squiggle adds both character and strength to the generous seating area of this bench. It is the perfect piece for an entryway, dining or kitchen table, foot of a bed, or anywhere you need a place to sit.

The optional hand-incised and painted knot on the top surface of the bench symbolizes hope and is inspired by a poem by a mentor and poet Albert ‘Huff’ Huffsticker. 

HOPE

The wrong kind of hope 
will do you in.
Hard hopes sustain you, 
hopes that lie
close to the ground
hopes with a touch
of stone in them.
A good hope
is like a good knot.
It holds till the rope breaks.

Available in natural finish or painted black. 

The Natural finish is oil based polyurethane to bring out the luminosity of the wood and for durability and ease of cleaning, hand rubbed satin sheen. The Black paint finish option is painted and then top coated with oil based polyurethane for durability and ease of cleaning, hand rubbed to a satin finish.
