Made of bug riddled White Fir Salvage Logs this wood is easy to work with and has the antique look that many furniture builders try to replicate. This is the real thing. It was about a four hour project including surface planing and assembling with 1/4” crown staples and glue. There are no bugs in it now and I sealed it with exterior grade satin poly after this photo and before before giving it to a family member. 4 foot tall . I made another one with a hinged seat for storage but took no picks before selling it.

I agree with rikkor. Very clever and creative way to handle the back slats. Nice piece Ron.

Cool! The little “roof tops” on the back slats really set it off.

Looks great. I hope you closed in the bottom of the one with the hinged seat :-)) Of course I’m kidding, I assume that you must have.

Very nice work on this unique, whimsical bench! I am sure your relative will enjoy it!
I especially like teh fact that it was made from recalimed wood, too.
God Bless,

Thanks Jiri but this is not one of my original ideas, I have seen other similar benches and this is my version.
