This was my second project and was a little easier than the outdoor bench, since they were all straight cuts. The most time consuming process is the staining.
Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
I used 3 coats of stain. That is the most time consuming process, you can build this in a couple of hours, but need to wait 24 hours between coats of stain. And then seal it. Once they piece "sits" for a few weeks, the color will start to look better also.
