Hi Everyone,
This is not Vasa related but I thought it would be nice to share with you.
I am building a carved two person bench (about 50" or 127cm long) that reflects Norse and Celtic styles of art. So far I have gotten to the point of carving the two ends. The front panel, backrest, and seat will also be heavily carved. The seat will have a continuous hinge on it, and we will be able to store things in it. The bottom and lower back will be plain boards, since not many will really see that part of it.
I think I will also upholster parts of it, and have a padded seat that can be raised or lowered in order to make either comfortable. (But not too comfortable so that a person could fall asleep in it while reading). It will also probably be possible for a short person to use it as a bed.
It is a big project, but I think it will be very nice when complete.
Here is a link to some pictures on my website:

Enjoy!
