When we moved into the Ebor house we realised there was a real lack of bench space in the kitchen and the kitchen was quite a large room. Matt decided to make me a bench with plenty of storage space and this is the result.
The top is made from strips of hardwood that he pattern matched some of the wood grain so that it looks really nice.
The half round shelves were made from an old plank we found in the shed in Cowra and once the old paint was sanded off, it revealed a lovely grained timber. After a couple of weeks inside the house with the fire going, the wood on the top of the bench started to shrink a little and small gaps appeared between the planks. Not good when you are using the surface for food preparation so Matt removed the top, took it to the shed, sanded it down the filled all the cracks, lacquered it again and reattached it.
It weighs a tonne - well it feels like it - and it has been a life saver in the kitchen.
