The Bench Comes Together

I got a reasonable days work in on the kitchen over the weekend - and it's finally taking shape!

The last three supports were fixed in place and the bench top rough cut to size. The bench top is made from Rosewood flooring

I cut and added a new base plate to the right-hand compartment which needs trimming with Silky Oak

Pallave (bless her cotton socks!) managed to repaint the interiors of the other two compartments, working around me while I assembled the top

The wide compartment is for the dish washer with a draw below while the other compartment will be a set of three draws

At the end of a day's work Pallave and Chester pose to show how the new bench sits in the carriage. Not that Chester did much to help!
