Nice job, I resently made a simple stool for my wife to sit at when she became tired after working in the garden. I made it out of cedar and was disappointed with the finish I applied. (spar varnish) I hated to finish the wood with a white coat covering the color of the wood. However I can see from your’s that the white paint makes it stand proud. My has stained and I am going to cover it as you have with a ext paint.
Thanks for taking the time to post your project. I needed that push….

NYWS has this as the name…Lutyens Bench.

mjon, I like this design better. Simpler and easier joinery. Norm’s is too complicated.

Oooo… painted mahogany? Isn’t that sacrilege here in LumberJocksland?

Fine Woodworking Magazine also featured a similar bench a couple of years ago. I ran across it on Google Images & built one similar from the picture. You have done a nice job Mjon. I painted mine as well & it too is sitting in a nice location in the garden.
