My wife has asked me to build a wood couch to match the "mission" mahogany
coffee table I build her last year.

Of hand I can't picture a wood couch. Anyone got plans/examples?
Thanks.

If she wants to match that coffee table, consider a Mission "settee" or
"settle". These are classic complements to Mission style furniture sets.

One example:

Some have wooden seats, more like a bench, but most seem to have upholstered
seats. One of my sister has one that looks like this picture made by my
grandfather. If I live long enough, I have plans to make a reproduction.

IIRC, some of the "Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture" series books, have
plans/drawings.

Good luck.
