Here is a simple project that the LOML asked me to make for her. She recently returned to work and wanted something to rest her feet on under her desk. Some of her co-workers had cheap plastic versions of this footrest, but we wanted something a little more special.
I had a nice ash board in my stock pile that had this beautiful grain, and I used walnut to contrast. The height and angles were figured out for her comfort, and I decided to incorporate some simple inlay on the edges.
The finish had to be durable so it is about 4 coats of professional poly.
Thanks for looking.

Looks great, love the ash and walnut accents. To bad it will be under a desk.

Wow, love the grain on the ash. I think your wife will be the envy of her work neighbors. I know how those little things stick out to the people that use them. I wouldn’t be surprised if you get a few requests for more.

exceptional work on this footrest… bet her co-workers will try and “borrow” it… might want to think of adding a lock down mechanism for it… :)

Ryan,
Eye-popping highlight of the ash grain. I bet she takes her shoes off when she uses it.
