    Trestle bench

    GEORGE NAKASHIMA MEETSGEORGE HARRISON
    When my wife asked me to make her a seat to practice her guitar andukulele I immediately thought of a trestle bench. George Nakashima used naturaledges along with BUTTERFLY KEYS to give strength to natural cracks and voids.This also added to the beauty of his work.
    George Harrison played the guitar and ukulele as well as anyone inhistory.
    While listening to the strumming of a Beatles tune it hit me like afreight train. Why not have musical notes in place of BUTTERFLY KEYS on a MusicPractice Seat.
    We have here a BIRDSEYE MAPLE trestle style seat with inlayed WALNUTMUSICAL NOTES as keys for strength. This also personalizes the gift. Thetrestle is also WALNUT.
