Project Information
It all started with my dear wife request "We need an entrance bench"
So I went and picked a air dried slab that I have from a tree that had to go down when we build our house.
Then I ask a friend to cut it for me because I dont have tools for it.
After that I hand planned all the legs and started with the joinery. I cut the legs first, then the mortise.
Then I decided to make a wedged through tenon. Here is how I made it
I also tappered the legs to make them look square.
It was time for the glue up.
After this I flush cut the excess, rounded the edges of the top, and just a little of the legs. Sanded up to 300. Painted with a semigloss "plastifier" just leave the wood color as natural as possible.
Hope you like it.
