WOOD WORKS

    This traditionally designed bench serves dual purpose -- as a seat and as a storage space for sheet music. Made from mahogany, which is known for its stability, the legs are joined to the apron with mortise and tenon joinery. For a decorative touch, the feet of the legs are laminated with ebony veneer. To create the storage area, a plywood base is set into a dado cut along the bottom edge of the apron. Stretchers between the legs lend strength and support, and the hinged mahogany-plywood lid is edged with solid mahogany.
