Inspired by pin impression toys and pixel patterns, these White Ash and Black Walnut wood pegs rest on an open cell foam pad for the most comfortable wooden bench you will ever sit on. The pegs can be taken out and rearranged as they are all identical. The pegs are arranged in an argyle pattern for a quilted look. The base is made with solid Black Walnut and Birch plywood; the base and all 595 pegs are hand finished with Tung oil.
