The Lloyal Hoffman Bench Project
My early introduction to homebuilding, boat construction and sacred geometry have given me the skills to build in the round. These photos show the contruction details of a bench that has benefitted from the use of all my skills.
The material for the bench came from a juniper tree that grew in Loyal Hoffman's front yard, an Orcas Island resident. I waited 20 years for the tree to die a natural death, allowing for it's unique development. I then split it in half as it had matured with a double crown. It was stored for 10 years in order to allow it to become seasoned. I started building the bench in 2018.
This one of a kind functional art bench will last decades. As a conversation piece, as an heirloom, as a comfortable piece of furniture, this tribute to live edge, natural woodworking can be yours for $7,500. Shipping is not included, but I can help arrange these details.
I plan on using the money from this sale to buy a specialized vehicle so I can drive. Since an accident in 2013, I have been confined to a wheelchair.
