Classic Shaker Bench (Digital Plan)

This 6-ft.-long Shaker settee has a clean, elegant silhouette enhanced by its dramatic ebony finish. It has six turned legs and three stretchers, instead of the usual four and two. To improve on the classic Shaker design, Becksvoort beefed up the leg-to-seat joint using stepped tenons, which eliminates the possibility of breakage at the shoulder. The seat is shaped with a tablesaw, router, and hand tools.
