Live Edge Cherry Bench with Antique Desk Legs and Reclaimed Singer Sewing Machine Parts

For a couple years now I have been holding onto these really great adjustable cast iron legs  I got off an old decrepit desk i bought at an auction.  About a month ago I went to Forest Products in Greenfield AM and they had some really sweet natural edge cherry slabs that were the perfect fit for my desk legs.  I picked out a slab with a nice casual S-curve to it and took it home.  My first plan was to just mount the slab to the legs and have a very simple bench, but once I put it together it just looked a little to naked but I couldn't quite figure out what to do to dress it up.

I then started going through the the stack of reclaimed wood I had sitting around the shop and took out a top of an old foot pedal singer sewing machine and decided to see what I could make for the underside.  I decided upon a drawer and casing the drawer would slide into.  This would add aesthetics, storage and make the seat a little more rigid.  As a little bonus there was a small brass fitting that was originally part of the sewing machine that landed itself on the lower right hand side of the drawer.  Anyway here it is I hope you like it.

 The drawer pull is from a guy name John who is a fellow shop teacher up at Pioneer Regional, and a fellow amazing mustache owner.  He has a blacksmith business and does great work so check him out http://www.ironjohnny.com/! http://www.ironjohnny.com/, the Republican did a groovy write up on him so check that out too...   http://www.ironjohnny.com/ironjohnnyinthenews.htm
