Functional Bench

Here’s the bench in its functional glory. No finish yet. Not even all-together glued yet. Going to install a 4/4 shelf for slippers, flip-flops and such. Joinery is bigass wedged-thru-M&T. Totally sturdy, with no racking. The exposed tenons aren’t very pretty. Did the bore-and-pair method, which seemed prudent for thru-M&T. Dimensions - five feet wide, 15” deep, 17” tall
