I'm about to begin a builtin mudroom bench project and I've gone back and for on whether or not to carve in a butt shaped profile for the bench. I know I don't what to carve in individual butt seats but would rather have any profile change to run the full width. I'm curious what your thoughts are, leave flat or more ergonomic?
The bench itself will be 7'-6" in length and 1'-6" deep. It'll be made from 2 yellow cedar slabs glued together and have a live edge front face. I've already milled them down to a thickness a hair under 2". My glue up is probably going to be tonight or tomorrow (depending on kid distractions).
Below is a decent example of what I'm trying to accomplish. First step will be setting the bench in and "floating it". I'll then build the dividers and upper cabinets around it.
