Garden Bench

Looks like it was worth your time to reclaim that wood. Nicely done.

yes, very nice.

I love it when somebody can take what amounts to nothing and make something very fine out of it. I did that recently, too, and I know how you feel about this great looking item.

It caught my eye. Very handsome. I like it.

This is really impressive. I like the overall design, the many details, and the finish. More amazing after seeing the raw materials.

Not only dose it look fantastic but you recycled. Thank you for posting and my niece (the tree hugger) thanks you for recycling.

Nice clean design. I plan to “borrow” it, if you don’t mind. Unfortunately, I don’t have the redwood available to re-use.

-- CutNRun - So much wood, so many trails, so little time

That will go into my favorites. Nice job.

Nice job. I’d like to borrow part of your lay-out as well. And like the others, I’ll have to buy the lumber. Maybe I’ll find some straight clean PT-pine pieces for practice.

Great use of salvage materials. A beautiful bench.

awesome!
great design. looks nice and clean! real nice work.
and the fact that you salvaged what most people would have tossed to the landfill… even better!

it’s a great example of what can be done when people take the time to salvage old materials.

good work!

2nd that thought of adding it to my favorites

Great look and I might be using a “similar” design in the future! Thanks for the posting.

I would like to take credit for this design, but I used a commercial plan. It is the garden bench plan from WOODStore.net. I did increase the thickness of the legs by 1/2 inch and the streacher and side rails by 3/8 inch. I like the beefier look

-- Jim Westbrooks

What a wonderful design. It would fit well in any setting. My would be at the front and the back of the house. The front for the looks and the back to be used.
Thanks for taking the time for the info and where you purchased the plans.

This certainly is a beautiful bench ! I’ve never had a chance to work with Redwood yet …..I guess Cedar will be the closest I ever get : )

Your bench is prettier than mine, but I think Ellie would rather sit on my bench where she could reach over and pick the tomatoes that are just now getting ripe.

A very nice bench in a very nice setting. Good Luck!
