I'm wanting to build a mudroom style bench that will be built into a nook on tile. The bench will be about 40" wide and 2" thick. It will touch walls on 3 edges and have a wall mouted support that will allow me to use 1 bench leg. I want to use at least 1 for strength and aesthetics. I want to have a curving face because on one end of the bench I only have about 12" before it's stopped by a door frame, but about 15" on the other end. (refer to drawing)
I'm thinking I will build up the thickness with MDF or quality plywood. I would veneer the top (and probably the bottom) with Walnut, but I don't know how to handle the curved face. I don't want it to be perfectly square like a formica edge, but I don't know how to handle it. Do I cut a 3 in chunk of walnut for a nose and route the edges? I could keep rattling off ideas, but I'll shut up and see what you guys suggest!
