"The angels in heaven work at Roubo's bench to furnish the mansions of paradise. Why should us mortals use anything less?" - Jarvil Alubanis
If you've always dreamed of building a totally authentic Roubo bench from Plate 11, using wood from Roubo's back yard, you can stop using the excuse "in the next life".
This summer, Benchcrafted is organizing a rare event where participants can build a full-size Roubo, using massive and ancient French oak and blacksmith-made iron accessories in a modern-day Roubo-esque workshop, with a unique group of fellow Roubo enthusiasts.
Space will be limited, so keep an eye on this blog as details unfold.
When, where, How??!?!

Yep, everything metal will be made by Peter Ross.
