Photo Hunters (#9)--Fake (Reproduction)
For this weeks theme, Fake, I used the definition of fake to mean a reproduction. This photo is of a reproduction of a Shaker bench. The Shakers are for their simple ways, their wonderful inventions (the circular saw, the broom, the clothespin), and their beautiful design.
This rock maple bench was a piece that was bought from a company that makes Shaker reproduction furniture. We bought this as a kit and my husband assembled, stained, and weaved the seating.

That's a pretty cool bench, looks pretty real to me.

It might be a "fake" but it looks good to me!

It's a nice piece of furniture. I'm sure it's special because your husband was the one who put it together. Happy weekend!
I like that, two jobs in one ... Husband out of hair for a while and something useful at the end.
It's nice, just I don't think I'd fit on it.
that's a beautiful reproduction. happy weekend! :)
That is such a cool looking bench! I love the design.
Have a great weekend.
Oh, this was such a difficult one! My mind was blank! You came up with a good idea though...and he did a great work making that bench.
Great take on the theme, and that is a beautiful bench.
Wow thats great. I don't think my husband would weave a bench!
Well even if it is fake it looks very good to me. a reproduction sounds so much better, doesn't it?
What a beautiful bench, fake or real, thats a real find! WTG on that constuction job hubby! My photo is up, please visit soon
Shaker styled furniture, homes, etc.....so simple, so practical! I like this!!
Tell me more about this Photo Scavenger Hunt - sounds like fun!
Cheers,
Awesome reproduction photo! :)
Great job on this one.
Have a good weekend.
Your husband weaved the seat? That's fantastic! Great "fake"!
I think it's the same reproduction or fake, lol !
It looks good! Nice finish too.
He weaved the seating? WOW! That's impressive, looks GREAT!
God Bless,

Thanks for visiting my entry.
How can this be fake - after all it's handmade. LOL.
Great entry
I really like their style of furniture, is amazing how this had caught on and what would the original Shakers thought of it?
Lovely bench! And what a handy husband to put it together. Does he give lessons? We could do with a few round here...
It's gorgeous! Can I borrow that husband for a month or two? He can cane and refinish and do all that stuff (and he does it well!). Lucky you!
That's a pretty nice bench. What a nifty idea for the theme. Never thought of that.
