Shaker Inspired Bench with Turned Legs - Solid Cherry

Bench with turned legs plans https://jonpeters.com/products/cherry-bench-design-plans I built this Shaker-inspired bench using solid cherry wood, with turned legs for a classic and timeless look. This project is a great opportunity to practice your lathe skills, but if you don’t have access to a lathe, you can easily adapt the design with tapered legs instead. I used mortise and tenon joinery for strength and durability, staying true to traditional woodworking techniques. However, if you're looking for a simpler approach, this bench can also be built using pocket hole joinery. Whether you're a beginner or a more experienced woodworker, this project offers plenty of flexibility. I hope you enjoy the build and feel inspired to make one of your own.
