Heres a couple of benches I built about 5 years ago before I had my mill. I guess I'm gonna have to make time to make another one of these since I sold them. I wished I had kept them.  ::) I miss them.  :D

The second one has a woven back. The strips were sawn on the table saw and woven into place.  :)

David, the woven back on that bench is the bees knees. I'll bet you could sell as many of those as you could make.

Even without the woven they would sell good. The woven would be the iceing on the cake.That will make someone take a closer look.

The woven-back bench looks like it also has a slight curve in the seat; how comfy was that?

From where I am sitting you-all are cracking jokes at the crack of dawn  :o  :D

Let's not go there, this IS a family friendly Forum!

Nice benches David, especially like the woven back. How did you secure the ends of the slats?

The slats are not really attached. In the 1 1/2" x 6" Cedar Board frame that goes around the woven slats, I used the table saw and sawed a groove as deep as I could (about a 3/16" wide groove) in the center of each. The slats are just stuck down in the groove all the way around. This gives them room to expand and contract as humidity demands. I made the slats fresh from a log eight off a mill, and as the slats dried in the woven position, they just sort of interlocked in place. Woven like it is, the back became VERY strong.

I don't have a pic, but I once built a coffee table with a woven Cedar top and put glass over it. I sold it for $800.00.

Now PC, if your asking about the slats in the first bench pic, they are secured by a drop of Gorilla Glue with a brad shot in the end of each. I clamped them after about 15 minutes after putting the glue on them and let them set over night. That G. Glue is some tough glue.

only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Ah....you are referring to :

Brylcreem /ˈbrɪlkriːm/ is a brand of hair styling products for men. The first Brylcreem product was a pomade created in 1928 by County Chemicals at the Chemico Works in Bradford Street, Birmingham, England. The pomade is an emulsion of water and mineral oil stabilised with beeswax.
Beecham was the longtime owner of Brylcreem. Sara Lee bought the personal care unit of SmithKline Beecham in 1992.
Various Brylcreem products are sold worldwide. Brylcreem is marketed in the US by Combe Incorporated, in Europe by Unilever and in India by Godrej.
[edit]Jingle

It was first advertised on TV by the jingle "Brylcreem — A Little Dab'll Do Ya!".
When the dry look became popular, the last line was changed from "They'll love to run their fingers through your hair" to "They'll love the natural look it gives your hair."
Subsequent television advertisements used the mottoes "Grooms without gumming" and later, in the 1970s in the UK and Canada, "A little dab of Brylcreem on your hair gives you the Brylcreem bounce".
