Nice looking bench. Looks like it was always meant to be there.

Very nice Todd…I always admire the spacing you produce around your doors and drawers. The finish looks great.

Thanks Greg. The goal was to make a piece that looked like it had always been there.

Looks good Todd. I like the leg detail, and of course I like that curly maple anyway it’s stained. Glad you mentioned that the client’s did the upholstery and fabric choice…

Keep us apprised about the MagnaMax. Aside from the odor, I have really liked the Campbell MagnaLac I have shot.

Todd: you once said this about one of my projects:

”A good benchmark for determining the success of a project is this: Does it look like it belongs in the location or was part of the original design?

In your case the answer is absolutely – YES!”

The exact same words apply here. Very nicely done.

Todd, you have done it again. Your work is very impressive.

great looking bench todd, i love the curley maple .

Really nice piece..I love curly maple!

The curly maple looks like the grain was subdued by the finish. Does the grain pop, or was it the angle of the picture? I love the look of maple, birdseye, curly, you name it. A very nice bench, well made and appears to belong in the area. I agree with all the above comments too!

Nice work Todd. I am quite sure the Magna Max will be your new finish of choice when durability is a concern. It is a great product. Do you use the ML stains as well?

Very nice Todd. I really like it.
Is that a toe kick underneath to keep the dust bunnies out?

This came out great! ”The goal was to make a piece that looked like it had always been there…” you did that well. It looks like such a great place to sit and watch the rain out the window.

Todd,

Your work is perfect! As others has said it looks like it has always belonged in that spot. A great place to sit and take life in. I would drink my morning coffee here and gather my thoughts for the day.
