Sofa

I made three of these sofas back in the days when you could buy 21-inch wide mahogany boards. This one is 72 inches long but could be made shorter. The plans show two versions: one with a solid back and the other with vertical slats. I included a knock-down alternative in which the sides are secured with wedged through tenons rather than dovetails. It has quite a presence, this sofa, and needs a spacious living room
