Ranging from childrens’ rocking horses to entryway tables to outdoor benches, I’ve made a variety of one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture.
Indoor Hall Bench with Storage
Image 33 of 42
A friend asked that I make her a bench that would seat two people for their hallway that was long and narrow plus it needed some storage space. I designed this one from scratch giving her an opportunity to chose style and various features from mechanical drawings. The top of the bench hinges to access shallow storage beneath the seat. All joints were mortise and tenon joinery and the wood was Honduras mahogany stained dark. I have personally inspected it years later and it remains solid as a rock.
