This is the NRMA bench made exactly to their plans. My Dad and I built this 30+ years ago. It's been broken down and rebuilt multiple times over the years. Yet is still as stable as a the day we built it.

Sorry that this is a bit dark. In retrospect I should have never had finished it in dark stain. LIGHT stain or natural is THE way to go.

My shotshell bench and my work/cleaning bench are both natural with Varathane matte finish and they look much nicer. And the light finish reflects light too.
