A great looking bench. Is the cypress natural or did you put finish on it.

A great looking bench.
I’ll bet you could never duplicate that Pecky hole design pattern the way nature did.

I like it

Karson,
There is no finish on the bench….Yet. My step dad is a varnish NUT!! I told him if he puts varnish on it he will be disowned. I told him i could live with tung oil if he had to put a finish on it! Cypress really needs to breathe.
He has sealed a few cypress swings and i am forever making new slats for them. Cypress will rott if it is totally
sealed.

This is my pair of cypress benches with no finish. This shows the aging after a couple of years.

Love your benches!! I started out to build my bench just like yours , Yet a demon took over me in the process! The pile of Pecky was speaking to me..Seems i always start out with a design in my head and it changes as the build goes on.

The Pecky piece is outstanding. I’m glad that you added it to the mix.
