The Spindle Bench is a handmade solid-wood bench built around a shaped seat flowing to a sweeping field of slender spindles connecting the backrest.
The version you see here shows a seat and a headrest made of Poplar which has been finished in French Gray milk paint, while the spindles and understructure are walnut. Twenty-five hand-fit walnut spindles rise from the seat into a trapezoidal headrest, creating a gentle rearward sweep and a strong rhythmic line across the back.
The seat is lightly sculpted for comfort and retains subtle hand-tool texture from the shaping process. At 36 inches wide, it is compact enough for an entryway, bedroom, or waiting area while still reading as a substantial piece of furniture.
This bench can be ordered in Cherry, Maple, Walnut, or White Oak. Bare wood comes standard, milk paint is optional.
Each bench is built by hand in Des Moines, Iowa, with traditional joinery and an emphasis on material, proportion, and details that will age gracefully with use.
