Made this bench so my wife and myself would have a place to tie our shoes, age gets you a little. Wanted it small 14x22 top 18 high. All hand tool project of plain sawn and QS sycamore. De-waxed shellac and poly as a finish for durability. I saw the one board at the yard and really like it. It was a bear to plane but worth it. I intentionally made it look substantial to invite someone to sit on it instead of thinking it is a side table. I posted over in the Neanderthal side too.
