View Full Version : Piano bench for Women's shelter

Here is a piano bench I made for a women's shelter in Minneapolis.

It's made up of mostly ash and a little bit of red oak.

All of the material was stock left over from other projects.

The rails are mortised and tenoned into the legs.

I confess I cheated a little on the top, Oak plywood with solid edging.

I was at the shelter about a month ago and saw that they had a piano, but no bench. Being a woodworking, the solution was obvious.

The finish is sanding sealer and brushed on poly.

Thanks for looking,

Bill

I agree with Mr. Rimmer....!

When people need help some times they are afraid to ask or just have too many things on their mind.

Sitting and playing will be a blessing with your bench... Big Kadoo !

Nice engineering too!
