Description: This "boot" bench was crafted using uneven cuts of locust to bring out the grains and patterns of the tree. The bench was constructed with mortise and tendon joints, which hold extremely well and used in most antique furniture building. The seat was made from a half-sawn log and the ends of the seat show of the circular ring pattern of the tree. The legs are rough-cut to eight quarter. To provide extra strength there is a cross member joined to the legs.
