The Exodus Bench
The Exodus Bench was designed as an exploratory piece surrounding one of our favorite scriptures, Exodus 20:25 that states: “If you use stones to build my altar, use only natural, uncut stones. Do not shape the stones with a tool, for that would make the altar unfit for holy use.”
Based on this verse we wanted to integrate our usual medium of wood into some form of natural stone and see how the two played together. This bench was the first iteration of what we came up with and intend to continue to explore. The clean, straight lines of the walnut appear to hover over the raw, unshaped obsidian stone that is placed beneath.
As stated, this particular bench is made from walnut wood and obsidian stone and measures approximately 72” Long x 14” Wide x 17” Tall. The Exodus Bench is fully customizable with different wood species and stones depending on availability.
Hand rubbed, hard wax oil finish is used to provide a more natural look and durability to the wood, while the stone is left completely raw and unfinished.

As with all of our furniture, please keep in mind that wood is a natural material and thus it will vary in its color, grain, and naturally-occurring details. Just as no two trees are perfectly alike, no two pieces of lumber will be alike either. We believe this is actually a great thing, in that no two tables will ever be exactly the same and each will have its own unique beauty. We hand pick each of our boards to ensure quality and continuity, but please note that some variation is to be expected and your piece may vary slight in it’s look from what is shown here.
All of our benches are offered in various materials, sizes and can built with dimensional lumber (pictured), or live edge slabs (not pictured.) If you like this design but would like a different size or edge detail, please reach out and we’d be happy to get you a custom quote! Custom sizes/finishes available upon request.
