I loved making this bench - only 5 2x4s. I used premium studs, sanded before building, wood glue/countersunk screws and filled them in. Used English Chestnut stain and I’ll add polyurethane to ensure longevity. My first build - the trusses/supports weren’t the right size, somehow we’re short? So I cut those out twice. It’s OK because I had excess anyways! Nice snug fit now.
