Just recently finished this foot bench in reclaimed pine salvaged from a barn on our property. The wood all came from huge 12 1/2" wide 30 foot long beams. I believe it is Longleaf (?) Heart Pine.
Mortise and tenon construction, dovetailed cross supports, arm-r-seal finish, hide glue.
A lot of work in this piece, took way more effort than I anticipated in breaking down/milling reclaimed wood. Reclaimed wood is very challenging in my opinion, lots of little quirks in it but so very worth it and exquisitely beautiful.
Thanks for checking it out.
