LOVE

My workbenches become so beautiful over time, and periodically I need new ones, so I’ve been using them to paint lettering and create these one-off pieces.

For this series of bench off-cuts I laid stencils over freshly painted sheets of wood, and used them as a desk for many months. I’ve slowly started cutting the benches up and peeling back the stencils to reveal space the lettering, and painting the text with gloss enamel.
