In this video I make a Live Edge wood slab bench out of Mulberry and White Oak. I used half-lap joinery and a slab flattening jig to make this contemporary furniture.

WOW, I am so glad youtube found this for me, Master Craftsman, Master Photographer, this presentation is just stunning.
The shot where the cam pivots to follow you carrying the slab. Pro times 💯
I sawed up about 1500 bf of white pine and red oak two years ago and started looking for ideas today. It never occurred to me to use them together. What a beautiful piece. I can only hope to match the craftsmanship. Thanks for the inspiration!
Lovely design and turned out great.
Lovely bench. Excellent work. Great video.
Thank you!
Looks good will!
Everybody should know by now that you're an awesome videographer. Please don't forget that you're one of the best storytellers among makers on UA-cam! Love the video anyway! Keep it up!
love that frame and the grain in the slab, that is the reddest white oak I ever seen
That could've been the color grade. It could've been red oak too. I thought I had grabbed a stick of white oak from my stack but I've been wrong before. It's definitely not Walnut hahaha
possibly the grade, J might know, hopefully he sees your T. And your photog is nutz man, wish I still did it for some of the work I used to do.
I love a no-talkie build video.
Lovely work, looks awesome! Watching this has inspired me to try something similar with some live edge Elm that has been sitting in my shed for ages! Super awesome, thanks for posting!
Very inspiring build, Will! Enjoyed the video. I really liked seeing the contrast of behind the scenes while you’re shooting the final photos and then the actual final photos.
Beautiful bench, and naturally, the video was shot with excellence too.
Beautifully done.
I’ve never been crazy about the live edge aesthetic but this bench is beautiful! Excellent photography as well!
It's a shame we won't get to see the beautiful red brown that top is going to age into shortly. One of the most underrated hardwoods for sure.
Great looking bench and great video!
Man, I love this little bench. And I seriously just want to take a few days vacation to have you teach me how to film and photograph. It's always amazing to see your final shots.
Gorgeous build!
Cute and accurate
Awesome job Will! 👍👊
Awesome to see you again after quite a long time! Cheers!
Wow, that came out awesome!!
Nicely done!
Exquisite. Do more like this. Videos and projects.
Beautiful video and I love the finished bench!
The colour of the slab with the finish on was gorgeous. Lovely piece and beautifully shot. 👍
Really nice bench Will! Thanks for sharing the video even without the voice over. Nice choice of music.. Really enjoyed it..
Wow, that was excellent
Not sure if I loved the project or the edit more this time. Really enjoyed this one a lot!
Beautiful
Great work. Loved the video
Nice bench, we just built some but with different legs. Thanks for the video!
Handsome piece, excellent video
Don't take this the wrong way, but don't feel obligated to keep doing voice over. I love the stories you tell, but watching this I don't feel anything was lost. I'm not sure if it's because you did more visually to tell the story.. or if I just noticed more visually because I was more focused on it. Really got sucked into this one.
This is perfect. CRazy how did youtube know the exact bench that was in my head. Do you remember the angles? Thank you!
I want to say it was either 6⁰ or 12⁰ but I usually lay it out in pencil first to make sure the angles look "right"
A lot of nice small details....well done
Another beautiful project and video Will, thanks for sharing.
Perfect.
Thank you!
Beautiful build Will!
Thanks Jonathan!
I dig it.
Nice movie! Thanks!
Such beautiful camera work William. Love this video.
Very nice.
What an awesome video! I love the outcome!
An amazing job .... wonderful ... a pleasure to watch your work process....
Will, that’s an awesome looking bench. Good work and I’m glad to see you posting videos again! I’ve always liked the style of them.
Man thats nice, good job mate
Lovely bench 👍 keep up the good work
👍🏻for the aspect ratio!
Great job my friend 👍🏼
Just subscribed. Love your style. Love the joinery and your ability to take us along with you. This is what I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing.
I love it awesome job my brother very nice project :)
What an awesome build. Loved everything about it. Inspired me to get in the shop and make one.
hey man... gettin' good
gettin' real good.
Very nice brother, I don’t see many projects with mulberry👍🇺🇸
That is a gorgeous bench Will!! That was one beast of a carbide tipped router bit you were using to flatten the slab! You should call this one halflapapalooza ;) Cheers!
Yep! That's the spoilboard surfacing bit from Amana. It was sent to me by Toolstoday.com for a video I did for them a while back. It's a beast and I like how you can replace the carbides.
More is stated by not saying anything...loved this build!
nice job..
I really like your design here! Turned out fantastic. What did you finish it with?
Looks more natural, with unneat shape of the top!
btww.. u have tge receipt for the tooth?
Beautiful bench Will! thanks for sharing the video.😎👍JP
Very nice work Will. Does the mulberry look that yellow in person?
Yep. It's in the same family as Osage Orange
will it stay that yellow? i heard osage will turn brown very quickly with exposure to sun...
The day i build something like that... I'll actually cry haha
what kind of shaper/router bit are you using on your flattening jig? love the bench!
Great work Will!
Will: setting up photo shoot for finished project.
*Bench: “shoot me like one of your French girls.”
Great finished product!
Hahahahahahahaha I just spit my coffee out
Nice!
Precioso trabajo de todo mi gusto gracias por compartir…!
Awesome work Will the bench looks incredible. But I really really miss you telling the story or why you’re doing or not doing kind of things. Hey take care my friend.
Nice
You are artistic. Mortise and tenon joints would be more sturdy though. Or compound sliding dove tails. Great job on the video too.
I did a similar base for an activity table I built my toddler a couple years ago using angled Mortise and tenons. Thought I'd try something different on this one. I gotta say this is pretty stout. I sat on the bench when the pieces were just dry fit holding it together with spring clamps. Can't argue with the sliding compound dovetails but I'm pretty confident in the rigidity of this piece.
Beautiful! I would be more than proud to have something like that in my home, and I would be crazy proud to be able to make a bench that beautiful. Great job! By the way, I'm not too far from you. I'm in eastern Goochland County. Best wishes!
Thank you so much! It's actually for sale hahaha! That's not far at all. Let me know if you want to take a field trip some time and hang out in the shop.
Do you share plans for the legs ?
I made these up on the fly. I think it was a 5⁰ splay. I made scale profile drawings on rolled out craft paper knowing I wanted final seat height at 16" and took measurements from the drawing. I could probably throw together some plans if there were enough interest
Beautiful bench! The joints you created looked to be spot on, very nice. Curious, what method did you use to attach the top and legs?
Just some pan head screws in wobbled out pilot holes. If the slab was wider I would have used "table top buttons". I think Andy Rawles did a video on them
Hi Will. Where did you order your branding iron from. I live in South Africa and I would like to order one for my projects with my logo online. Do you have any suggestions?
I got mine from Tinkir Workshop but there are many companies online that make them as well. I use a torch to heat mine up, but you can get ones with temperature controlled electric elements in them.
@@wmwalkerco Thank you for the response
Awesome video William!
amazing bench. also cool router bit. where can i buy that thing?
The bench or the router bit?
the router bit. the bench - as much as i would like to own it - i'd probably couldn't afford nor would i have a decent space to fill with it, sadly.
What router flattening bit did you use?
hey will. hope you answer my question since I am planning to build one to sell. is that 2x2 or 3x3?
I milled it to 2x2
+Wm. Walker Co. thank you
What's the height of bench.
I make my benches and chairs between 16-18" high. I think this one was around 17"
what would James say about that wood by wright t-shirt
I'm hoping he spots it :)
+Wm. Walker Co. haha

Very basic, beginners guide
I admire your talent and the products, but hate the music and no commentary. I’m trying to lean and this doesn’t fit my bill. Sorry
Have you explored any of my other videos? There are many with in depth commentary and I'm often mistaken for the voice of the home depot commercials.
I really like it. Also check out Woodglut and plans.
I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
I recommend Woodglut to every beginner and not only.
Very nice brother, I don’t see many projects with mulberry👍🇺🇸
