Piano Bench
Made this piano bench for my daughter who started taking lessons. The top and legs are made from reclaimed black locust from a bridge in Brooklyn. Tried something a little different to attach the legs. Used sliding dovetails instead of m&t.

Beautifully done! The sliding dovetails look great. Don't know much about black locust - is that the natural color or stained?
Corelz - nice bench. Locust was used before PT lumber. very rot resistant.

Love the sliding dovetails. Super functional but still old world elegant.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Very nice bench, Corelz! Looks like you’re now an expert on sliding dovetail legs. ;-)
May you have the day you deserve!
Great looking bench, solid and sturdy looking also. Excellent job !!! Mike
Thats the natural color BB. The finish I think was satin wipe on poly.
Jim you had some input on the design of this one.
Yes Bently I cut a little off of the dovetail to cover the socket.
Dave every time making sliding dovetails is a new adventure.
Thanks everyone for the comments
