That's right there are many types. What is found in building
stores is a very soft, wet, SYP #2.

We currently use "DSS" Southern yellow Pine. This stands for
Dense Select Structural. The moisture content is .05, where
common pine is dried to a 15 moisture content. This type of
wood is more durable, and has virtually no knots, therefore no
shrinkage!


Why use Butcher Block?

We currently use Woodweld Maple or Ash  Butcher Block
on all of our Bench Tops and Select Structural Southern
Yellow Pine for legs and Frames.  Bally Block is an American Company in business for over 100 years.

The moisture content of DSS Pine is .05, where common SYP
pine is dried to a 15 moisture content. This type of wood is
more durable, and has virtually no knots, therefore minimal
shrinkage!- We are who we are- American Workbench, using
the best affordable products to make our benches. . . For you .
. Made to order.


Is there an additional charge to have my
name on the bench?

There is no charge for your name or message in the "Made in
U.S.A. Section. There is a charge for additional engraving or
logo additions.

Why does it take weeks to ship?

Benches are customized based on offerings. The orders are built by one person in blocks of 3-7 at a time. There are times
in the heat/cold of the summer/winter where top cure times
can be slowed by South Carolina Weather. Benches will not be
shipped until fully cured, otherwise packing material will leave
impressions.

Do you ship to Canada?

Yes! Additional shipping, plus a 9.5% Tariff would apply.

Why not build my own bench?

If you have the tools and resources...you should. However, when you consider that most parts of our benches are planed,
jointed, and sanded to create a strong, attractive, built to last
several lifetimes and carved with your message and legacy, it's
obvious that your assured a quality American Made product.
So you can move on to your own DYI interests.

Can you Build my bench to my specification?

Yes! Within reason:
  • We can alter the height
  • You Can Choose not to have a back splash and have a lip instead.
You can specify a different color to match your decor as
long as it is attainable in our region.
We can alter the bottom shelf depth for computer table or
other uses where seating will interfere with the shelf.
We can modify the depth of the benches on a case by
case basis. Some additional charges may apply.

Can you ship the bench fully assembled?
Yes! However, there is an additional cost. It is not
recommended since it takes more time to remove the
bench from the pallet than following the 25 minute
assembly instructions. This bench is designed for
simple assembly!
