Part-2

When making the maple multi-ply topped stools, I was left with 3 very nice, new nylon-covered cushions which were original to the bases. What to do?

Make a bench, of course.

This one stands 16in high and is 38in long and 14in deep (the cushions are 12in square). It is made of cumaru and multi-ply and joined with pocket-screws and stainless steel face-screws capped with a contrasting cumaru plug.

I'll be making more based on this design, but until then: anyone need a bench? Until I get an Esty.com site set up it's for sale via Craigslist for $50.

The brightness of the center pink cushion was hard to capture — it's pretty bright. See a better rendition below.
