My First Ana Project (Simple Outdoor Bench)

Submitted by Marcie89 on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 19:38

This bench is the first project I have built from Ana White's plans, and I love how it turned out! The cutting list and instructions were very easy to follow. The most difficult thing about this project was the staining and painting, which I admit I have never been great at. I built this bench because my fiance and I needed additional outside seating on our patio for a party we threw, and I literally built it the day before! A week after the party I gave it to my fiance's daughter who wanted it as an indoor hall bench for her house. At first I was sad to give it up, but I figure I can easily make another! Thank you so much, Ana, for the fabulous plans you provide!!
