Astonishingly nice piece ! Way to go.
Bubinga is such great stuff. You really show cased it by using it as drawer fronts.
Contrast without going over the top. I wouldn't change a thing.
I too will look for more of your work.

Gap stop with slots:
Wow that could be pretty handy.
Thanks for the response.
Always something new for me to learn about in the world of wood.

Great looking work bench ! Way to go !
Any way we could see another photo of the middle area of the bench where it is "split" ? Do the halves move or are they fixed?

Hey show those turkies that don't care for your calligraphy with the magic marker (I must admit to being one of them) and add a chip carving knife to your list. It is super easy to chip carve your monogram into the handle. That way it will still be legible later as well.

I am not belittling chip carving. Chip carving in it's higher form takes skill and planning, as far as I can tell (I am not much past monograms myself). : )
I like the plastic handled folding carver knives. I was caring one in my back pocket when I had a major bicycle crash. I slid on that instead of my ass. Saved a lot of skin. Hardly marked the handle and still works great ! Tough knife. I tried to find a link but oh well; black reinforced plastic handle, brass rivets, good blade, inexpensive.

Hey, and thanks for the reminder to get one of those flat tapes.

Thanks for your blog
