Build your own timeless piece of furniture with this step-by-step video guide for crafting a sturdy Shaker-style bench. Inspired by an original design from 1825–1850 in Hancock, Massachusetts, this modern adaptation is scaled for today’s homes—measuring about 4 feet in length, slightly wider for comfort, and made from solid cherry. Cherry wood not only offers greater strength than the original pine but also develops a rich, reddish-brown patina over time, adding to its lasting beauty. The design embraces classic Shaker simplicity while ensuring rock-solid construction, making it both elegant and practical. Perfect for woodworkers of all skill levels, this project brings handcrafted charm and function to any space.
