more garden benches

Still working away on my Pony Project (tho Icelandics are traditionally called Horses, of course) and with all the moving around of our wood was inspired to make two more garden benches. One with the last bit of water damaged black walnut and one with the newly milled sugar maple from our back yard. I think we might have maybe for two more benches in materials and then we're out... and the nice thing of making these benches? If they don't sell I get to keep them :)

From the craigslist ads:

natural edge sugar maple garden bench - $150 (Ithaca)

garden bench made with sustainable materials
ready to be placed outdoors and weather, or to sand down and stain

The natural edge wood is sugar maple, milled from a wind storm felled tree in our back yard. The frame is made from pine shipping wood and local hemlock

The bench is the size of a love seat, about 54 inches wide with arm rests of rounded edge sugar maple and a perfect angle back rest.

natural edge walnut garden bench - $150 (Ithaca)

garden bench made with sustainable materials
ready to be placed outdoors and weather, or to sand down and stain

The natural edge wood is very likely to be black walnut (those boards are from a dwindling supply of water damaged wood, hence this project). The frame is made from pine shipping wood and local hemlock.

The bench is the size of a love seat, about 54 inches wide with arm rests of old weathered barn wood and a perfect angle back rest.
