Woodworking bench by Luis Laca


The workbench (6 feet), following the traditional French and Spanish style, was made from solid Cuenca pine (Pinus nigra and P. sylvestris). Due to its light resinous nature and flexibility, good pine was the wood traditionally employed for workbenches in Spain. The whole bench is made from wood, including its vise screw. Appart from pine, boxwood, ebony and Spanish walnut have been used. The bench was entirely made using handtools, especially handplane.

(One little word off changed the whole thing.)
