Project: Piano Bench in Mahogany

[WoodWrangler]

My good buddy Jon wanted a custom piano bench to match his 75 year old player piano. We started with a trip to The Woodworking Source and picked out one of the most beautiful pieces of mahogany I've seen. It's been a rather slow moving project, working nights and weekends when he has time. Today we took the final lap and assembled it and attached the top.

It is finished with Watco Danish Oil in Black Walnut color, then topped with blonde shellac.
