A little bench for the dog

[Kirk (KC) Constable]

A year or so ago we raised the bed up on a platform...primarily to keep the cats from killing things underneath. :eek: Result of that was the cocker not being able to jump up from the wood floor...and heaven forbid LOML's dog can't get in the bed. This is a little bench I made as a prototype when I was building the dining room and couldn't decide on a design. It'll go at the foot of the bed for me sit on while dressing, and for Princess to use as a step. :rolleyes: Cherry, curly maple spindles, ebony plugs. Only finish I put on was WATCO, since it'll have claw marks all over it by Friday. If I outlive the dog, perhaps I'll put a proper finish on it someday.

That's a beautiful bench Kirk, you dog lives high class!;)

Beautiful bench Kirk. I am guessing you used mortise and tenon. The ebony plugs pin the tenon in place.
