My oldest son asked me for a meditation bench, and I asked him for plans, there is the type you show, but
he wanted one that had a curved bottom on the legs that would allow for an easy change in seating position
without great effort. The wood I used was 8/4 maple to start and the legs were mortised into the seat
bottom and glued. Hopefully your client has used a bench and has a definite preference and plan, otherwise
this could end in a dispute. Not knowing the cost of the wood he wants, could be anything from stained
pine to zircote, the finish and your time, it is hard to put an estimate on your work. Good luck.
