This piece is going in a meusem on South Manitou Island ,northern Mi. It will hold antique wooden toys for the kids to play with. They can also play checkers and chess. Made with QSWO I veneered the checker board and then I inlayed it into the top. I used torsion hinges so the kids wouldn’t pinch their fingers. I gave it a antique oak finish sealed with shellac then top coated with urethane. Half blind dovetails. I got the idea for the legs from LJ nackedwood. Hope you like it.

Nice bench, impressive legs. I’m surprised the museum lets the kids play with the antique toys.
