Cedar Bench

My wife is sitting here saying she loves this bench and wants one for Mother’s Day “hint hint”

That’s really nice bench.

Great job!!

I am in the process of making one of these for my wife as well. My question is, how is the varathane holding up in our weather? I have used other types of sealers and have been disappointed after about a year. Great looking bench, may have to copy the pattern.

Thanks

It looks comfortable and also very strong and endurable. You did a nice job on it.

@Jim – Not too bad with the varathane, although if you leave the bench out overwinter it seems to break down a bit, probably due to the amount of moisture in our wet environment. I will be trying a different marine grade clearcoat on the next one and will keep you posted. Of course you can have a copy of the pattern, I will just need to scan it in and then send it your way. I did modify it a bit by adding arm rests, but you’re welcome to have a copy of what I used for the bench.
