I am just a beginner. This bench came from my head kind of ad-hoc. It’s for my Daughter. It made of Poplar.

It’s a nice little bench. I like the look of it. Now that you’ve built it, how do you like it? Is there anything you’d do differently or change? Does it work as intended?

You are off to a solid start. Your bench looks great, hope you Daughter enjoys using it and maybe even her Daughter or Son will use it in the future.

KEWL! She’ll love it! You got lucky with the poplar as most of it has a green tint and is only suitable for painting. It’s still a good hardwood though. How do you intend on finishing this project?

Thanks Everyone,
Tom, I would hide the end grain that shows in the front part of the leg extension. Yes she uses it to brush her teeth and wash her hands.
Dadoo, Not sure what to finish it with, my wife likes paint but I am not so sure. I am looking for recommendations.

Thanks Again

Hi Phil,

Nice piece, I’d be proud to have it in my home.
I can only imagine how much your daughter loves it.
I’ll bet she has a few more projects in mind now…..........................

All the best
Gord

Why not let your daughter decide what to finish it with?
