This bench was a bit of a scary undertaking. I honestly wasn't sure I would be able to figure out how to weave the top and if it would even work. GUYS, it turned out PERFECT. I originally got the idea when I was designing the dining room for the Brightness Builds project. I wanted to help give them more seating because they have a very large family that comes to visit often. But I wanted it to be pretty of course and this EXCEEDED my expectations! Its SO PRETTY.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
4 - 2x4x8's (make sure they are dry).
wood glue - https://amzn.to/3wC5nZx
2" Kreg Screws - https://amzn.to/2VHu75V
Kreg Jig- https://amzn.to/3xIfWLZ
Small 1-1/4 nails- similar to this https://amzn.to/3i66Ceb
4 spools of Macrame Cord-https://amzn.to/3kek56z
If you make a shorter bench then you wont need quite as many spools.

HOW TO WEAVE
Do you think it'd make much of a difference if I use the10mm spool of macrame instead? Like would it be better or worse somehow?
Awesome bench Brandi, great job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
