A friend who has luthier skills fixed my Big Baby Taylor so I said I would do something for him. He needed a place to sit down and take off his shoes near the front door and hoped to have a storage area inside.
Major concern was cost of materials.... Since he had pine in his stairway area, and common pine is about $1.30/sq ft here, that's what I used. I had a bunch of scraps to add into the mix, and the result is pretty cool. To make it a bit distinctive, I carved his family initial on the back rail.
This was an opportunity to try a new system. I used pocket screws on all the frame pieces and biscuits to join frame to leg. Very quick and accurate compared to traditional joints.
The panels are mystery wood... the "B" side of 1/4 in. luan left over from doing drawer bottoms on another project. Pretty amazing grain pattern.
