PEP BB dimensional.straw.bench - bench with a back

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.

Standing can get kind of tiring.  Sitting on the floor can make your pants dirty.  Let's make a bench so that we can sit comfortably as we look at our flourishing hugelkultur bed.







To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- wide enough that two strangers can sit on it without it becoming awkward
- bench has a back
- clearly sturdy enough for use on an active homestead
- no treated wood, plywood, OSB or other engineered wood-like products
- no paint

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (less than two minutes):
- the wood you're starting with
- the construction partially underway
- the finished bench
