That is one nice bench!

I agree about the letters, too.

Another fine job, and yes, the letters look great like that.

Hi everyone, thanks for all the great comments. How do I do the lettering? I have a program on on my computer that will print out banners, I use Print Shop. I can choose many styles of lettering and adjust the letters to any size that I need to fit on my board. When I get everything how I think it will look best, I print the banner. I move the banner over to my board and tape it down where I want the lettering to be. I use carbon paper to transfer the letters to the board. This desigh was done with a v-groove bit in the hand router and I just went around the edges of the letters. I changed to a 1/4” straight bit to fininsh cleaning out the insides of the letters. These letters are cot about a half inch deep. I then sand off the pencil marks where I may not have quit matched up while cutting. This bench has only a coat of Thompsons Water Seal on it but it brought out the nice cherry color in the wood. I loved this project. It was really fun.
