Hall Tree Storage Bench

Marc Spagnuolo

A hall tree is a great way to store jackets, coats, hats, and scarves and with the help of handy storage compartments, it can easily store gloves and footwear. While the versions shown in the series is painted, the project was designed for both paint and clear finishes.

Reviews:

This is my first WWG project. Should not be the last one for sure.
Why 5 stars ?
1. the object itself is so useful (or was for me).
2. The quality of everything in the offer : audio, video, explanations and, not the least for a foreigner like me : the clarity of Marc’s English -diction, correction, speed, … .
3. The many tips and techniques that I could collect on my way to my own tree storage bench.

The main adaptions I made :
a) 3 columns only in order to fit my available space.
b) added ash veneer to the panels in order to further mimic solid hard wood and be able to use oil instead of paint.
Cheers
