Anglo-Saxon Work Bench

West Stow in Suffolk (UK) has an archaeologically researched and authenticated recreation of an Anglo-Saxon village. This was taken in one of the thatched, wattle and daub houses and is believed to be a close approximation of the 'machine' used to cut timber between the time the Romans left (5th Century AD) and the end of Anglo-Saxon rule (when William of Normandy arrived in 1066).

I worked on a slightly more modern version of the same bench when I was learning how to use a drawknife. Funny how good design sticks around. Nice image.

Good mood with the side light and textures. I call that style of bench a shaving horse, heavily utilized in chair manufacturing. It's missing its wedge to prop up the incline board. The seat looks like it was carved out with an adze. Great photo.
