Fly fishing bench

[HMR]

I'm working on a series of fly fishing-themed furniture pieces.  Here's the latest.  The basic design is my own and one I've built many times with different wood and finishing combinations.  I used  walnut and beech with Maloof joints on this version.  The image on the backrest is of the Frying Pan River located near Aspen, CO.  I created the artwork on my laptop  and then carved it out on my CNC.  I enjoy incorporating the CNC engraved images onto high quality furniture built with more "traditional" methods.

Titebond was used on the seat and backrest boards, epoxy on everything else.  I added black dye to the epoxy in an effort to better hide the multiple glue lines on the curved legs:

Finished product:

Fun project made more enjoyable by the Domino, OF1400 and Festool sanders.

Beautiful work and a great design.  Are you the fisherman, or is this built for a customer?

Really nice work.  I haven't fished the Frying Pan but I did fish the Roaring Fork near there.  Inspiring work you've done there.  I wish I had the time to do more projects for fun rather than many of the projects related to the maintenance and upkeep of a 110+ year-old house.  On the upside, I do get to use my festools.
