Cross Bench

You can use our Cross Brackets to make this simple bench. The top piece is 11 x 36 x 1 1/2 and the legs are 11 x 16 x 1 1/2 pine.

Four Cross Brackets were screwed into the top piece and leg pieces.

I removed the hanger from each of the small crosses which I wanted to attach to each leg.

Then found a longer screw that would fit it and drilled a hole in the leg piece. Use a counter sink bit if necessary.

Screw the cross to the leg piece from the inside.

After the dark brown Briwax  finish was applied I noticed my sanding marks which gave it a distressed look.

There are several other types of braces on the website that you could use such as Star Braces, Cobb Webb Braces, and Horse Braces.

The items used in this project are:
