A simple, meditative form for clean living and clear thinking. The tea bench is humble, yet sophisticated with wedged through tenons, a hand shaved stretcher joining the legs, and a subtle under bevel on the seat. It is made from carefully chosen, sustainably sourced wood; each board selected for its clarity and straightness of grain. The select lumber is milled with machines, then the joinery cut by hand. With everything tightly fit, each piece is given a polish with well sharpened planes and spokeshaves that provide a sheen unattainable by sandpaper. Finished with a natural oil and wax blend.
