nice bench, and yard too.
I had to demolish our bought made bench because the dog decided to ruin it one day in one of her “anxiety attacks”.
No love lost as it wasn’t real comfortable anyway, and… well now I have all this lovely wood!!!!!!!

I especially like the wooden caps you used to hide the nuts… and bolts…
Wonderful..

Hi Mike,
Your wife must be very happy, and perhaps you might also this summer.
I can Imagine a evening there with a glass of wine, holding hands.
Beautiful bench, beautiful garden, you have a lucky family.
You are a man of my heart.

Very nice clean simple lines. Looks great in the landscape. It would look real good with a flower cart next to it…..

That is one tasty bench, Mike. I’ll be looking at the blog.

A great design for a bench in the beautiful garden. Sure your wife will spend more time in the garden now.

Great bench and beautiful yard Mike. Looks very sturdy and should last a very long time. Well done!

Thanks you everyone for the positive comments. Terry Thanks for the good suggestion, but too late with the cart idea, we just bought another large pot and some bright petunias to have out there. The flowers in the picture were just temporary to liven up the photo.
