Leg and support pieces are made from the same log and feature pinned mortise & tenon joints on each end. The entire bench was treated with hand rubbed teak oil, and is finished in four layers of weather resistant oil-based polyurethane.

That's an amazing looking garden bench-way too nice to leave out in the elements!

I like the live-edge, and those wedged tusk tenons-very classy!

Thanks to all for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate your feedback and opinions. I just sold this piece yesterday ($ to remain undisclosed) to a couple for their retirement home here in the Texas hill country.
For those of you who cringed at the thought of this bench sitting outside exposed to the elements and critters alike, you can put your mind at ease. They were going to use it as an interior piece, which is fine since the wood was originally kiln dried for that purpose. Thanks again!
