Pat, How do you get enough leverage sitting right in the middle? ;)
great bench Cherokee!
Pat B:
Postman, when you're working with a knucklehead like mine it is easy! ;D
Murphy95:
What kind of wood is it from?
Would spruce or pine be okay for building a shaving horse like this or would be not strong enough?
Greetings, Felix

RBLusthaus:
you might also consider putting a 1 inch or bigger dowel in the far end of the bench (proud of the surface) so you can push the far end of a stave against it thereby securing the stave side to side while hogging off sap wood, etc.
