The Oak Memory Bench

A small table beside a favorite chair, a bench in the front hall
or a stand to hold a vase of dried flowers.
They vary in length from 12" to 32" and are 12" deep and 18" tall.
(This is the same height as the seat of a standard dinning chair.)

The Memory Bench is small enough to find a place in any home yet large enough to be very useful. This virtue alone makes it a appropriate Wedding gift for a young couple just starting out or an Anniversary gift for a retired couple with almost everything. It may very well be one of the few things they own and use all of their lives.
Table beside a Favorite Chair
Carving their names and wedding or anniversary date on the bench makes it a pleasant reminder of an important day in their lives. What will the future hold for this bench in the coming generations? Consider, if your grandmother had received a bench like this on her wedding day would it hold a special place in your home today? A conversation piece that will have the curious asking, Why are these names carved? Who gave it to you?
The casual classic style of the English Oak period has a long tradition of carved panels. For centuries the aprons of these useful and decorative benches were carved with repeated design, initials and dates. We have copied from this tradition and now make these faithful reproductions. Would you like more history of these benches or some carving suggestions for graduations, births, awards and more?
