THE STORY BEHIND BLUE BENCH WOODWORKING...
In the corner of my workshop sits a little blue bench. Despite the flurry of activity in the shop, the bench never gets moved. Nearly every day one of my six precious children perches on the bench to chatter about a discovery, question me on a million different topics, or ask if I want help with my work. My wife rests on the bench for a moment to fill me in on her day as a busy mother. Good friends stop by and sit on the bench to chat – or to ask if they can borrow a tool!
Over the years, that blue bench has come to symbolize time with family, friends and the familiarity of my favorite things. Custom woodworking is not a job for me – it's a love, an art, and a skill developed over time.
Blue Bench Woodworking is all about building wood furniture with the highest quality workmanship. This does keep our customers happy – but it also keeps my family happy because we use the same furniture that I build for your family. And we expect our furniture to last year after year after year – so that is how we build it for you. John Toliver, Owner

Custom Maple Twin/Full Bunk Beds
Using contrasting woods - maple and walnut - gives these twin/full custom bunk beds a striking appearance.
Note the unique design of the handcrafted wood ladder -- the custom styled hooks that attach the ladder to the upper bunk provide added stability. The wedged mortises are another attractive custom designed feature which give an additional element of stability while adding an eyecatching design component.
All of the wood furniture at Blue Bench Woodworking is built exactly to our customer's specifications. Nothing is pre-built or "in stock".

GENERAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR NEW CUSTOM BUTCHER BLOCK ISLAND
FROM BLUE BENCH WOODWORKING
- Periodically (at least once a month) apply an even coat of butcher block oil. This food grade oil will protect the surface and make the wood last even longer.
- Never allow moisture to stand on the butcher block for lengthy periods of time.
- For best results, avoid cutting in the same place every time you use the solid wood butcher block. Distribute the wear evenly for generations of use with this kitchen showcase.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals on the butcher block surface. Regularly scraping the surface after use, washing with soap and water and drying with an absorbent towel will ensure many years of use with your custom butcher block island handcrafted from Blue Bench Woodworking.
