Here is the couch and a bistro table from the heirloom garden furniture set. Notice how half the log is spalted and have is still solid. Also the table top and one end of the couch are bookmatched slabs. If you look closely you will notice that I sliced right through a square nail. The nail on the table represents an hour hand of a clock counting back to the time the nail was inserted and the roman numerials on the base represent the time that the nail was rediscovered.

Wow – cool! We’ve never seen furniture quite like that before! How did you go about the sanding process, and what’s it finished with?

Very cool….I was half expecting to see Fred Flintstone or Yogi Bear sitting in it! Nicely done.
Ditto on the finishing, curious what the finish is and how well it holds up to the elements.

Absolutely beautiful job. The finish is great!. I’m not sure that I’d want to be your furniture mover, though. -SST

The finish is spar varnish. I have left designated areas un-varnished for now to allow for a more controlled seasoning process. It presently has 4 coats and will be getting more this summer. Heavy… you say. It took 4 strong canucks seven tries to move the couch 15 feet using moving harnesses.

so ironic that you’re from Quebec, my first thought was “tabarnac that must have been heavy to move”
nice work Cam!
