What type of wood is used for the bench structure?
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.

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. Depending on the region, shipping will be slower based on finding the correct agent.
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 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!
