I reckon this is pretty cool. It's 15 minutes but worth watching, building a really interesting bench from just one oak plank while keeping the plank essentially in one piece (other than the waste material that's removed) using a milling bandsaw and steam box.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, you may not want to build the bench but I guarantee that there are a few aspects to this video it will give you plenty of ideas....it certainly has for me!
