Lumber from a local bush, Canadian hard maple and Matt Kenney's work bench basic design with some added touches like the tail vise, round dog holes, purple heart dowels in the bottom tresle ends. Great bench only took 2 months on weekends to complete! Photo's are not great as I had to crop them and they don't do the bench justice.

I glued up some 2x6 spruce and made a few practice joints until I was comfortable cutting into the 8/4 hard maple. You can just google table saw dovetails to watch the 3 part u-tube video on how this method works. It's a very accurate method of cutting dovetails.

Cheers! Kev
