I collaborated on this bench with Joshua Davis as a Christmas gift for hiswife's grandparents. What a fun project that they love so much, it will stay in the house to enjoy until spring. I designed the end holders and Joshua added the stabilizers and finishing touches and did the labor intensive work. Merry Christmas.
