This awesome video shows furniture maker extraordinaire Mike Jarvi creating one of his signature steamed-wood benches from a single slab of wood. The video documents the several-month-long process, from chainsawing the log to finishing the bench. Great filmmaking and soundtrack, too. Rock n’ roll woodworking! [Thanks, Eric!]

This man is my hero!!
Woodworking porn. Beautiful project.
That said… I’d much rather have a voice-over explaining each step than the music track.
What a great video showing this amazing process. I was initially thinking this was a few pieces of bent wood glued in place.
This was one of the best DIY videos I’ve seen. Great way to make a bench. Details aren’t really needed – pretty straight forward technique (after several dozen tries anyway).
