Reader Project: Super Bench

We love seeing different spins on our projects, such as this Super Bench by reader Charles Brown. The plans were originally published in The Family Handymans September 2012 issue.

I purchased an oak butcher-block top from Lumber Liquidators for 200 bucks to use as the top, Charles says. He screwed it on from the bottom to keep the top surface smooth, and he attached a piece along the back to act as a backsplash.

After a few coats of polyurethane it looks too good to use! Charles adds. Thanks for the design.
