Description: This is a beautifully chopped and gnarled carpenter’s workbench. The trestle-style base is made of oak and is possibly of later construction. The uprights are hand-cut, through-tenoned and pegged top and bottom to the horizontal members. The trestles are joined by two 2”x4” stretchers, pulled tight on wooden keys. The base is painted with slate blue rubbed through to white.The bench surface is comprised of a massive oak slab, 3” thickwith a 7” wide tool trough at the back. The bench has two vises. An end or “tail” vise on the right hand side, and a front or “shoulder” vise on the left-hand front, both of which operate on sturdy hardwood screws, which add 4” to the length and 7” to the depth of the surface. The “arm” of the shoulder vise is beautifully dovetailed into its end cap, to resist the pressure that will be applied to it. These have been used as side tables, sofa tables, serving tables in restaurants, and TV consoles. Not surprisingly, they also function extremely well as workbenches in a home workshop.86"Lx35"Wx35"H Hungary, circa 1910
