This one was like really thrown together at the last minute. Pecan for the bench, White Oak for the legs. The bench is sturdy,but I should have made the legs wider or thicker. As long the bench is on concrete it’s fine. A little unstable if I put it on the lawn. As they say ” You learn from your mistakes and correct them on future projects”. Anyhow everyone was pleased with it and got much used during the Birthday Party for my grandmothers 80th year. Thanks for looking. God Bless

Man, where do you guys get this great wood?! The pecan looks fun to work with. As for stability… what about putting a wider cross member ground level on each leg? That might give it a steadier stance.
