I got the cast iron sides and back for this park bench free from my in-laws. They had originally bought it and it was made of red oak, which not surprisingly didn’t fare very well in the elements and fell apart after about 2 seasons. I rebuilt it in Ipe so it would last forever and finished it with teak oil to bring out the figure.

That is one beautiful bench! Way to recover somebody else’s “refuse.”
