Making a 5' Oak Bench using Shou Sugi Ban and Teak Oil Finish

My wife and I bought an old church and remodeled it into our store front where we sell furniture and home decor. One wing of the church we converted into my woodshop where James and I build furniture at least 5 days a week. We are either building custom orders or pieces to display and sell in the store.
This is a display piece for the store however we have made several of these over the past year for customers.

I am an Amazon Affliate and if you use a link below we will make a small commision but this does not affect your price. I will only post links to products that we have used in our shop and have been happy with.

Love the bench! A good story behind the wood always adds a lot to the project. Soooo, in case of tornado, get under bench.

I made a similar bench out of 4x4s (milled to 3x3), but it was only 5 sections wide. Regarding the glue-up, I had great success making the 2 leg sections and then the top (using cut-offs as spacers for the offsets), and then gluing the three sections together like a finger/box joint. Enjoyed the video, thumbs up, thanks for your time

Nice work! That looks like it was a lot of fun to build that👍🏻

Nice bench. Would have gone without the burning though! Like the narrative! Keep it up!
