A Snow Shoe Bench

There isn't one spot outside to sit and put on show shoes, so I've been told. So the reply to that was: OK I guess I'll have to build one, even a small bench for now. And here it is, it's make from 7/8 inch ash, a sold and heavy bench. I put on a couple of coats of poly for protection and well see how it holds out this year.

It's 17 inches high, with a 13 x 26 inch seat.

Add a hand hold.

The legs are on a 10 ° angle for stability. 

Coffee Table Update

I've finished the coffee table and it looks great. I used a Walnut gel stain for the first time and I thought it went on rather well. As well I applied a beeswax polish rubbed in, this won't take much to reapply every once and while.

Looks good, not too big for this room.

You can see the honey comb pattern in the end panels.

Finally a bit of sunshine, showing off the bottom pattern.
