This was the first piece of wood work that I have worked on since I was 19; however, your site is so filled with such beautiful work, that I just had to make something.
Luckily we were in need of an entryway--a place to sit and tie shoes, hang coats, and have cubbies to store hats, mitts, scarves, as well as my gardening tools!
I modified your Braden Entryway Collection to fit the space I had, but I hope you agree that it turned out quite nicely, despite my novice alterations.
I'm very fond of the look and smell of bare pine, so the piece is only finished with Tung oil.
Thank you so much for such a rich site, and for an incredibly detailed 'how to,' I don't think I could have managed without it. I also couldn't have managed this without prednisone. I have Lupus, and normally I can't move very much without very severe pain, fortunately the middle to weeks of this prednisone journey left me feeling like superman! Lupus is degenerative so this may be the last piece I make, so I am inordinately fond of it!
The only drawback was that i had to borrow (and purchase) bar clamps, which I found indispnsible.
Many thanks again,
Jennifer
