Here is a bench made to fit a specific location in our house. While it is painted, I used maple so that the grain would not show through and so that I wouldn't have to deal with poplar moving on me after sawing. There are lots of mortises in this project. On the legs, I pinned all the tenons that were not mitered tenons.
I hope the pictures are fairly obvious as to what is going on in each. Overall a fun project with a lot of pieces to come together. Making patterns for all the curved parts, cutting them out roughly, and then pattern routing sure removes a lot of sanding effort.
