Primitive Cypress Bench

I like this a lot. The inside of the legs left natural is a good touch to this. You did a good job on this for sure.

Very nice. Reclaimed wood is ALWAYS nice to see made into something.

Great looking bench, really like the lines and finish on this. What a great way to keep that wood in the family especially from a barn…..very nice rustic touches to the inside too. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for the comments. I plan to make at least 12 more benches of the same design for my wife’s first cousins, who used to play in that barn when they were children.

I forgot to include that the wood is cypress—don’t know whether it is bald cypress or red cypress, both of which are native plants of south Louisiana.

Very rustic, I love pieces like this, and the reclaimed lumber makes it that much better.
