Some benches I built that are leaving here this week. They feature crowned shed water tops , kiln dried sterile wood , brass inlays , concealed expansion joints , stainless steel hardware , book matched legs ,all reclaimed local fire kill . Between four and five hundred pounds each approximately.

Great looking benches. I really like the large support sections for the slabs. It makes them really
well matched. What size are the massive leg sections. Thanks..

Thanks for the comments . Given where these pieces are going they are scaled appropriately . There is still a fair slice of the population out there that can partake in the best that mother nature has to offer—-

Rob, these are beautiful benches. I love the sheer size of these. And the owners are certainly not going to have to worry about these benches disappearing in the middle of the night.

That is fantastic and very likely to be stolen at that weight!

Very Cool! I love the rustic, massive look of them but yet they have an elegant overtone. Nice work!!

Patron , the footer is no joke ! Two of the benches are part of an integrated art piece, lots of oak and copper, and in the multi ton range . A special slab with steel tie points is being poured to support the whole thing just off the ground . I fabricated all the components , steel , copper , sculpted oak , in my shop but will not be able to show proprietary pics per agreement with the architect .
