hi guys I fix them with index screws that pull up tight, then plug with plugs from the same wood, on the seats I sometimes use different type plugs to show contrast, this bench sold before xmas as a present for a mates wife,

Sweet looking seat! Do you build the bench back and base on a square frame, then integrate it on to the more natural frame?

Thanks guys, these benches I make are all just knocked up depending on what material I have I usually do the two sides first and then link them up with the long bits, making sure the seat height , is correct, and the seat should lean back just enough so it's comfortable whilst not tipping over

I have got a set of rounding planes and Tennon Cutters, but you wouldn't won't to use it on these as its seasoned yew, with bark removed and sanded, each one comes out different
