Entryway Shoe Bench
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Entryway Shoe BenchI made this for my mom a few months ago to replace another (much larger, 'modern' style) shoe bench I made for her last year. It's made from pressure treated lumber that my brother got from work a few years ago, plus the absolute last of my pine scraps (trying to be extra scrappy during the lumber shortage.. thank goodness it's ending).The sides are assembled with mortises and tenons, and the stechers are dowelled.I did the top as a solid butcher block-style which I think makes a strong visual impression, and the shelves are thinner pieces on a piece of MDF They're pocket screwed in (any suggestions for a longer-lasting, hidden attachment method?). Those are finished with danish oil topped off with some polyurethane and the black is all spray paint from a can over primer.I was aiming for clean/fairly modern, simple and high-contrast… definitely some more cleanup work I could've done but overall I'm pretty happy with how it came out.I'm about to start producing these for sale… wish me luck!
