Bed to Bench Conversion

Bed to Bench Conversion

This antique bed was converted to a bench with internal storage. I was able to use the original rails for most of the seat but cutting splines. A piece of HDF for the storage bottom and a few internal structural ribs were the only new wood needed. I repaired damage to the carved top of the headboard with a piece of poplar and wish I had taken a before picture! Some Howard’s Restore-A-Finish and Wax-N-Feed brought it all back to life.
