ABOUT
A beautifully worn solid Maple carpenter's workbench with large inlay tray used to house larger tools and two wooden screw vises. Fifteen holes or "dogs" are spaced along the width of the front.

Completely cleaned and refinished in shellac to preserve the patina. Finished in an oil and paste wax.
