Forum Member BillyB's Pecan Waterfall Bench

WDH · November 23, 2016, 07:49:21 AM

BillyB got a pecan (

) slab from me and made this beautiful waterfall bench. I love it. Billy, that is a very fine piece. I really like the continuous live edge and how the grain flows in the piece.

Pecan lumber is warm and beautiful with an attitude. That bench is very pleasing.

Very purty bench

Looks great

You really need to spend a few minutes looking at it to understand what is going on with that fine looking bench.

That is an attractive bench. Do you know Billy made the joints?

Masterful workmanship of beautiful (difficult to master) lumber.

Maybe he will wade in and describe how he made the joint. I believe that he used splines.

Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving.

BillyB · December 13, 2016, 06:43:08 PM

Thanks Danny. The joints are multi-spline blind mitre. I saw that slab at Danny's and knew right away it was going to be a waterfall bench.

I don't think any wood looks cooler than in waterfall legs!

You should see his last two projects. Maybe he will post some pics. Come on, billy, show them the curly maple table and the walnut waterfall bookcase. They deserve to be seen.

I've loaded to photos to my gallery, and will try to attach them to this post.
No luck. Here's the URL

Here is the curly maple entryway table. This is curly maple that Customsawyer and I sawed. I believe that the joinery is all sliding dovetails.

Here is the walnut waterfall bookcase. I have never thought about doing a waterfall style with the continuous grain, but I love it. The top and bottom all have the flowing waterfall design.

Beautiful pieces. I also see that distinctive purple demarcation line between the heartwood/sapwood on the Walnut. It worked quite well on that bookcase. Good job!

Nice curly maple bow tie.

Per the orders of WDH! Below are images of a solid Oak Credenza. A lot of fun making this piece.

WDH · December 14, 2016, 08:26:39 PM

Love the quartersawn red oak and sycamore!

DanG,where have you been hiding all these years.

BillyB · December 15, 2016, 06:51:14 AM

Thanks. I had a completely different job. I have a couple more things to establish on the farm and then I will hit the market. I have to build a dry kiln chamber and need to build an additional building. I just finished my dry shed a couple weeks ago.

sandsawmill14 · December 15, 2016, 07:02:19 AM

great looking projects and fine craftmanship

WDH · December 15, 2016, 07:35:59 AM

Wait till you see the cradle ;D.

69bronco · December 15, 2016, 08:04:20 AM

Beautiful! Love that sycamore smiley_clapping

BillyB · December 15, 2016, 09:09:07 AM

This is the curly cherry babydoll cradle Danny was referring too. The dovetails were handcut at an angle. Another fun piece. By the way, I just spent 2 hours reading YellowHammer's 40' shipping container build. I have a lot of work ahead of me!
