I am impressed, my attempts never seem to carry the nice character that you've put into your work. You should be very proud of the "handwork", lol, makes a classy bench.

Hi Cloudy ... great work. The first thing that came to mind is custom presentation cases. There are not a lot of really good case makers out there. There are literally very "few" and they have a 3-4 month backlog even in this economy.
A beautiful personal piece of great woodworking! Well done, and so useful!
Have you thought about wall mounting the chest just where it is but, say, 9 inches above the bench surface, allowing the full bench surface to continue to be used?
