The nature of wood grain is to curve or spiral in growth. A riven length will usually show this character to some extent. This bench has minimal twist, yet just enough to offer the experience of slightly different seating postures.
Finding wood suitable for bench lengths is difficult. These were lucky local finds.
Only the legs and ash sticks are riven. In design it's a bench with a back. A very unusual construction.
Riven, coloured and carved.
