how lovely!!! I really like the fancy work on the front. What did you use to create the design in the wood?

A nice design Larry. Did you turn those legs yourself?

Thanks all – gee whiz – you make me feel humble. The dimentions are 36” long – 13 1/2” wide and 71/2” deep. Being poor ( =0) ) I used select pine – the design on the front is from the bedroom set that we have in the master bedroom – I used gunstock checkering tool to carve out the design – I was suprised that they worked so well – now I have some more tools to use, But I should of taken more time – I am always in a hurry – need to slow down as I think I could of done a better job – and the legs were purchased. That is one item I do not have yet – a lathe – my choice was a lathe or heat for my shop – needed the heat.
(Dennis – it did rain over here this morning) course I live in the South.. LOL. You Northern folks do not get the best weather….
Thanks again all for the comments

I can relate to the hurrying issue.. I have to really focus on slowing myself down and taking the time to create quality rather than just getting the idea into a product.

Not the best weather up here? Pshaw I say.. I was out today, walking in the snow half way up to my knees, the sun was warm (finally) and the crisp air, well it just made for the perfect day. I regret not having spent more time in it. A perfect winter day. (the Canadian way)

Beautiful bench, Larry. I like the design and the turned legs.

Shoot Larry: most of us started with a birdhouse, step stool, lawn furniture, or picnic table, or something like that. You are an encourgement to us, keep posting.
