Project Information

This bench is made from Diamond Mangaris, most commonly used as a decking material. I did some research on the pros and cons of applying a finish (top coat like polyurethane) or penetrating oil versus leaving it unfinished in the shower surroundings. The feedback I got lead me to choose leaving it unfinished. The client is a friend, so I am sure I will get feedback on how that works out!

I built one similar to this using Teak. I occasionally clean and retreat with Teak oil.

Gotta make one of these for my wife. She always says she wants a shower bench.

Rick,

I just checked your shower bench out. Very nice. I also used Titebond III and stainless steel screws. How has it held up?

It looks great and well crafted. Like the design and the wood. I'm sure it will last long.

Rick,

Love your shower bench. Did the TITEBOND III and SS screws with plugs hold up? What oil finish did you use and how often do you need to retreat with finish?

Great signature block, Brother!
