Alan Horsager

Woodwork

In 2015, I started taking advantage of our garage space, building a workbench and building a few pieces. Some of that woodwork is below.
Alan Horsager woodwork. Sitting bench made of a whole trunk 2 inch thick pine board. Legs are made of 2 inch thick, dark heartwood walnut. The support is made with mortise (walnut) and tenon (oak) joinery. All of the work was done by hand using hand saws, hand planers, and chisels. Alan Horsager woodwork.
