Window Seat Bench

[jaxenro]

Am making two bench style window seats for under the bay windows. The satinwood trim will match the trim on the shelf units

first I made a base from 1/8 basswood 1 1/2 x 3". I scored the underside to look like individual boards and stained it

 

 

then a box of satinwood/ebony/holly banding. Light coat of oil and multiple clear lacquer

 

 

a smaller piece of 1/8 basswood for the cushion, some leather and foam rubber the clamp keeps it together as i assemble it

 

 

and put it together. The legs will be the standout feature of these they are coming

Cabriole legs?  Lion feet?  Pretty!  All the window seats I curled up on to read when I was little were built-ins with hinged lids for seats.  My mother used ours to store her father's books and her old nursing textbooks.

each will have a pair of bronzed miniature versions of some antique Roman table supports - they will serve as seating and also to showcase what the shop offers by way of custom statuary

And, as usual, it will look totally awesome.

Nice compliment to the marble tables. And the matching display shelves
