That's a real nice bench, Randy. As I say too much, I'm not a fan of stain, but that piece is an exception. It really looks good.

Probably a boring question to you true furniture builders but do you spray the poly on or brush it on? Also how many coats should a person put on something like that? It is beautiful by the way and I didn't realize that it was stained and I too am not a big fan of staining but that does look awful nice. Great job!May you die and go to heaven before the Devil knows you're dead. My Best, MacComment

I use wipe on Poly. I know its not as durable but it turns out way better for me. The bench is made out of lyptus with dark walnut stain. Two coats so far. I will pry put 2 more on. Its been over a week since the second coat. But im trying to finish a TV stand made out of MDF and I painted it and the primer I used was old and clumpy. I just sanded out the chunks but the paint ened up looking pretty bad. Some parts are glossy others are not. So Im gonna paint over it with flat paint and see if it turns out any better.YOU DONT HAVE TO TRAIN TO BE MISERABLE. YOU HAVE TO TRAIN TO ENDURE MISERY.Comment

Thank you for the reply onedash. I may have to try that wipe on poly some time. I'm never happy when I brush it on but don't have a spray setup or even a place to do any spraying anyway so that may be the way to go. It sure looks great.May you die and go to heaven before the Devil knows you're dead. My Best, MacComment

Your Bench looks very nice, I especially like the color.
The feet appear to be somewhat close together.
Is this going to cause a problem with stability?
Normal rule of thumb for a bench is that the feet need to be about 1" wider than the seat at the very least (1/2" fore and aft).Stop thinking why you can't and Start thinking how you CAN!
Remember, SUCCESS comes in CANS!
