Not exactly fine woodworking, but IMO any smattering of pine, oak ash

and
cherry deserves a posting.

I've been remodeling my bedroom with a complete tear out the walls and
windows approach. I was able to rescued the pine floor from beneath

layers
of carpet and brown paint (yes they painted the floor)

The moldings are pine, custom milled locally, to match the rest of the
house.

The window seat is not my design. I rebuilt it almost exactly as it was
before. A mishmash of leftover wood from my stash was used:
maple(stiles),
oak (seat), Cherry (bullnose) and recycled plywood (panels).

The door is ash with cherry panels. The cherry is crap-grade that I got

on
the cheap so I do not feel at all bad about intending to paint it. This
shot
is just a dry-fit I still have to fill a couple of spots and pre-paint
the
panels.

Sorry Swing, just a single tenon. Originally I was going to make it

1-3/8
thick with 1/2" panels, but after milling the main stiles and witnessing
their heft, I decided that 1-1/4" with 3/8" panels would be adequate.

It's
an undersized door (28"x80") and it still weighs about 80 lbs.

Thanks for looking,

-Steve
