This workbench is based on the Roubo style and is a split top version where the top is composed of two halves that allow for woods natural movement - Roubo was a True craftsman and many benches today are still based on his style. The decision to make a new bench stems from a desire to create a bench that is not only practical to use but beautiful to look at with joints that would be strong but also decorative.

The result from book matching the boards for the tray bottom actually blew me away with how it ended up looking once oiled and waxed and although it did take a lot of careful planing, sanding and elbow grease I think it was well worth the effort

Everything was sanded really well down to 320 grit so silky smooth and then applied three coats of Liberon finishing oil sanding in between coats and finally waxed everything with three individual coats of black bison wax followed by some heavy duty elbow grease to ensure a really good shine

During my project of restoring the fire surround i have learnt a lot myself and although i had the confidence to complete a project like this i thought it might be a good idea to pass on to others what i have learnt

I invited my customers to the workshop to see the finished project and they were so happy with the results and can’t wait to get it installed into their house - so once this happens i will get a final picture to post for you all
