Deacon Bench Oak with Walnut Inlay

Looks good to me Dusty – I’d take your castoffs anytime!

The third picture has a shelf on the bottom – were you originally planning on a drawer?

Betsy,

Thank you for the comments.

No.I wanted a place to set things like my slippers and such on.

More important I found that the seat was much more sturdy with this addition of the “shelf”.

It was considerable so so when this feature was added.

I also built it so if I grew tired of it or didn’t want to have it at a later date I could easily remove it.

Sounds well thought out. Thanks Dusty. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Lumberjocks,

Thanks for the nice comments.

I find it really interesting how not others view or see various pieces of future threw there own eyes.

One of the many lessons I have learned is my own tastes or preferences have little to do with what others find tasteful or likable.

This was a important lesson to learn and remember when I was doing woodworking full time.

Things I never would of guessed would see in a million years I couldn’t keep in stock Vise versa I built what I thought was one of the most beautiful armories that was high end that never did sell. I ended up placing it on my home for a long period before it sold.

And even then it was below my cost.

Go figure!

Very nicely done.
