Some of the old Hoops up this way would've done it, I reckon....

I reckon its laminate balsa wood
Look at the guy cleaning up

I like how the lathe is mounted and levelled

It's in the link.

It falls through the Sawing and Axe Violence,
The fresh, joyful free Forest;
What Wonder, when at last the Tree takes revenge.
And his Murderer is sawed in Pieces.
The World is inverted!

Hi,
Post 41 reminds me of a few years back, the ANU were raffling a fantastic workbench at the WWW show and the wife and I took a ticket and I was informed "If we win it you are not getting it, its too beautiful, we will redesign the kitchen."
Regards

There was antique French workbench for sale in an upmarket homeware store in Surry Hills (Sydney) a while back.
My wife thought it would look good in the living area. The price was eye watering.

Most of the ones here are made of single pieces of wood for the tops and were used until they were almost unusable.

They're usually about $1,000 though. At least that's the ask.
