The Japanese Workbench - a Planing Beam

A traditional Japanese planing beam, mostly used for thin and long pieces like shoji stiles and rails but it can be adapted and used also for other woodworking tasks. I've added two extra features, a V groove to hold the pieces at 45 degrees when using the chamfer plane and a rebate to edge plane the machine marks of the long kumiko strips.
No fancy joinery on this project, just using basic techniques, spruce wood, screws and nails but made it a bit fancy with some dark stain and a rope wrap on the base.
Enjoy!
