I was asked to save a bench for a freind. Her grandfather made it a long time ago. So back I went to the old barn wood behind my barn and searched to gind as much as I could to keep it looking the same. All but the back rest and the back legs has been replaced. She was very happy with it. I will take it back this fall and give it a linseed oil finish after she has left it out with her flowers on it to grey the cut edges to match the rest.

Really cool – but the stereo chirping might not be conducive to a nap in the late evening sun.

Very cool….I love pieces with character like this one has :-) Soon you won’t even be able to tell what was newly replaced and what parts were the old parts. Good save!

Very nice job on it! Looks great. Keep it up!
