Custom Mudroom Bench

This small mudroom bench was a lot of fun to build and a great use of this space.  Features of the project:

• Custom made shaker style, inset drawers with oil rubbed bronze cup pulls.  Drawer fronts are made from poplar with plywood panels.
• Dovetailed plywood drawer boxes made from 1/2" birch plywood.
• Blum - Soft-close drawer slides.  Super high quality for smooth action and durability.
• Solid red oak bench top.  This was particularly challenging as it was sandwiched between three curvy, not-square walls!  With some very careful measuring, it was able to be scribed and fit perfectly without the need for caulking or moldings to cover gaps.
• Poplar paneling scribed to fit and joints screwed together using pockets screws to ensure those joints stay tight.
• Corbels were chosen by the customer and ordered precut and sanded by the manufacturer.  All I can take credit for on those is the paint and installation.
