Grab handle ideas

TheBellHop

I repurposed an old broom handle...works perfect for us! Attached to end of window valance and bench seat above the fire extinguisher mount.

Similar to what TheBellHop did above. I repurposed a homemade hiking stick, about 58" in length. Perfect size. It was slightly bowed out (curved) just below the top which gave it a natural handle shape. I added a leather a strap, varnished it and used brass bolts and acorn nuts as fasteners. It is securely attached to the upper shelf and the lower bench.  Details are here.
