Farmhouse Bench

This was the second of a two part series for my wife’s command center area. I really wanted to design my own bench, but my wife really liked this particular farmhouse bench style.

This was a fun project to make. We used a specific stain recipe to give it a weathered look. This was the same stain recipe that was used on the command center.

It fits nicely under the command center and is a very solid bench.
