From the workshop

Solid timber, mounted to float.

The Mill Floating Bench is a single length of solid white cedar, wall-mounted on concealed steel so it appears to float clear of the floor. It reads as one bold horizontal line — a seat, a landing spot by the door, a plinth for the things you love. The heavy timber and the weightless mounting are a deliberate contradiction. Available in eight- and six-foot lengths.

White cedar is a solid, natural softwood, so every board is different — expect knots, grain variation and fine surface checks (small cracks that open as the timber settles). These are inherent to the material, not defects, and they give each piece its own character. Being a softer wood, white cedar also takes on the gentle marks of daily life and patinas beautifully, growing warmer and more characterful with every year of use. Ships with concealed steel mounting hardware. It must be fixed into solid structure (studs or masonry); an installation guide is included, and we can recommend an installer.

Craft & materials
Every piece is designed in Portsmouth, NH and made to order at our mill in Henniker, NH from solid, sustainably sourced timber — no veneers, no particleboard. We work in hardwoods like walnut and white oak and in kiln-dried structural white cedar. Because it is natural solid wood, expect grain variation, knots and fine surface checks; these are inherent to the material and part of each piece’s character. Joinery is cut by hand; hardware, where used, is solid brass. Finishes are open-pore oils — repairable and made to age gracefully.
Care
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and refresh the oil finish once or twice a year. Keep solid wood out of direct, prolonged sun and away from heat sources. Softer woods like white cedar will show the marks of daily life and patina over time — expected, and part of their charm. Small marks can be spot-sanded and re-oiled; every order ships with a care card.
Shipping & returns
Smaller objects ship by insured carrier; furniture ships blanket-wrapped freight across the continental US. Local delivery around the Seacoast and central NH can be arranged. Made-to-order work is non-returnable, but every piece is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship — if something is not right, we will make it right.
