Shaker Bench in Two Sizes

A favorite for looks and strength, this favorite Shaker design features four dovetailed corner braces. Combined with through-tenons, it's extremely sturdy and versatile. Renowned craftsmen Christian Becksvoort demonstrates how this design can be scaled for footstool to bench sizes. This simple project offers newer woodworkers opportunities to hone their skills and craft a project using hand tools only.
