Woodsmith Footboard Bench Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
This bench offers a pleasing and comfortable place to sit in the bedroom. With gracefully tapered legs and rock-solid traditional joinery, it is sure to add beauty to any room setting, as well as adding new skills to your woodworking repertoire. In designing this bench, we were aiming to use as few mechanical fasteners as possible. To that end, we chose mortise and tenon joinery for much of the project. Each end of the bench has three rails held securely between the tapered legs. A pair of long upper stretchers and a beefy lower stretcher connect the end assemblies together. While we designed this bench with the bedroom in mind, it's fine features would look right at home in an entryway or mudroom, as well.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Footboard Bench standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
Mortise and tenon joinery, double tapered legs, and a comfortable cushioned seat combine to make this an elegant addition to your home.
