BENCH SEAT (8 OF 8)

And here is the finished product.

The inaccurate color reproduction is apparent in these pics. Maybe someday someone will get it right. The cover isn’t all that hard to change out, it’s the foam that took all the work. Still, it’s a damnsight better than before !

I think I got an excellent return on the dollar for this project, even when I include the cost of the foam samples and discarded first bottom repair.
