got a unique opportunity, based on an idea from my wife.
build a bench, with an antique headboard and footboard. the one she found also had the side rails with it, and I used those for the frame of the seating area.
pics in the following order.
how it all started
assembled. the only new wood, was a piece of 20" wide edge glued finger joint board I used for the flip top.
painted waiting for the bench
finally the bench and a piano hinge.
