Every great bench starts with a solid foundation, and ours is no exception. Here’s how we craft the frame:

1. Selecting the Wood: We choose high-quality timber that’s durable and beautiful. Each piece is handpicked to ensure it meets our standards.
2. Cutting and Shaping: Our skilled artisans cut each piece of wood to size, shaping them to fit together perfectly. This is where the magic begins!
3. Glueing and Clamping: Once the pieces are cut, we meticulously glue and clamp them together. This step is crucial for ensuring the frame is sturdy and can withstand the test of time.

Step 2: The Backrest with a Twist

Next up is the backrest, which features that distinctive Scarborough undulation. This isn’t just for looks; it’s designed for comfort! Here’s how we achieve that:

1. Curved Design: The backrest is carefully crafted to follow the natural curve of the body, providing support where it’s needed most.
2. Attention to Detail: We pay close attention to every curve and contour, ensuring that it’s not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional.

Step 3: Installing the Seat

Finally, we move on to the pièce de résistance: the seat itself. Here’s what goes into this final step:

1. Seating Comfort: The seat is designed to be wide and inviting, perfect for lounging. We ensure it’s smooth and comfortable for all who sit on it.
2. Finishing Touches: Once everything is assembled, we sand down any rough edges and apply a protective finish to enhance the wood’s natural beauty and durability.
