Danish Cord Bench | Learning to Weave

- This Danish Cord Bench was my first time weaving, and it was great learning a new skill, which was also quite a meditative process! This project is part of the Wood Whisper Guild, tutored by Caleb James, a renowned woodworker & chairmaker, specialising in Danish Cord.
The bench is make of oak, although the long sides are maple as they are fully covered. The joinery is a stepped or haunched mortise & tenon - I used my domino jointer to make the mortises, but Caleb uses a drill press in the course...
The finish is Fiddes Hard Wax Oil White, although Caleb uses a traditional Danish Soap finish
Although it appears a time consuming process, once the technique & flow is established, you can progress through the weaving pretty quick. It is however quite tough on the fingers! Now I have the technique though, I will absolutely adapt this process & skill into my future furniture design work...
The Wood Whisper Guild is an excellent resource & the courses are very professional

Beautiful bench, love the weaving. Well done. Darlington, South Carolina USA

Utterly satisfying
Thank you, it certainly was to build it too!
Looks great!
Cheers Brett!
It's looking great! Looking forward to what you're going to do with the cord leftovers
Yes me too! may be a few months unfortunately as the workshop has three massive built-in projects currently so difficult to fit stuff in around those! many thanks!
Nice, that looks comfy!
It's very comfy indeed! Thanks
Gorgeous mate! Well done!
Thanks so much!
Very Nice Thanks again
As always, many thanks mate!
Beautiful piece. I teach furniture making at a college in Arizona and one of my students has several mid century danish pieces of furniture made of teak. Teak furniture is hard to find new as it’s all custom made and He wanted four stools of teak with woven seats so he made them. He made one out of Poplar $3 a bf before building the teak ones $40 a bf. He has sense made 7 foot dining table, an entry table, and several other pieces. He enjoyed the weaving very much and said the same thing you said.
Thank you, and hear you on the teak, so difficult to get good stock now!
Linda peça Pode me falar que cordão é esse?
WOW NICE JOB
Thank you!
@@DeerRiverCraftsman WELCOME
Nice ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Great job. How many meters of string has been used?
For a higher precision bench, use a lead screw instead of threaded rod
Thanks for the advise, will take a look!
Your bench came out great! I purchased the project from the woodwhisperer guild and was wondering if you could share your layout for cutting the mortises with the domino. I have a domino machine and would like to use it like you did for cutting mortises instead of the drill press. From your video I cannot determine your domino settings. Thank you
So I drew a centre-line, and came down 1mm on height adjuster (6mm bit on domino) - then flipped the piece over to achieve a 10mm mortise - did everything at 12mm depth setting, and longer mortises at 28mm depth setting, making my tenons slightly shorter to accommodate. Middle setting on domino gives about a 25mm (1") slot, so slighthly overlapped the slots to get the 48mm - set everything up on a test piece & dial in the domino before the actual pieces ;-)
Thank you very much!
Well done 👏 what is the nail called, having a little problem finding them 😂
They call them cord nails! Cord suppliers usually sell them with the cord, mine did! many thanks
