Farmhouse Bench

BySCWD

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.

Materials Used: 

  • 2×4 Studs
  • 1×4 White Wood Boards
  • 1×2 Furring Stripe Boards
  • 2″ Construction Screws
  • 2 ½” Construction Screws
  • Titebond II Wood Glue
  • Varathane Semi Gloss Poly Spray
  • Varathane Dark Walnut Stain

    There has been a long pause on the channel due to many variables. The most important one is we moved to a new home and the adjustment has taken a lot of my focus away from woodworking. However, I’ve managed to get full rein of the garage and have started to create a workflow with…

    Yet another addition to the organization of the workshop. I recently added a furry member to our family named “Princess Lucy” (Our daughter’s Idea). A beautiful German Shepard dog. She kept jumping over our retro 80’s low front fence. Our fence,  barely reaching 4′ in height, the dog would jump over it with ease. So…
