This is built from some old Cedar barn beams that I was recently given. The top is book-matched and measures 16” x 80”. It sits 17 1/2” high. The legs are cut from an old cedar 4×4. The inside faces are tapered and they are joined with through tenons and maple wedges. Not sure if this will be an outdoor piece, but I finished it with Sikkens just in case. I have a 4ft 6×8 that will will hopefully become the “love seat” of the set.

Thanks for checking it out!

That looks great, I love the live edge on this, nicely done.
