I posted pic of the base some time ago

We finally finished the top and installed the vises. One 7" Record as a side vise and a Veritas twin screw as an end vise. The top is Maple flooring over a solid core door. The edge banding is Ash. I was going to use Maple but the cost stopped us. I think the ash ties in well with the red oak base. The finish is Fromby's tung oil. (I know, not real Tung oil, but I do like it) The bench is 59" long and 39" wide. This bench will be used as a "multi purpose, horizontal surface"
Thanks for looking
