Wood is Wyche Elm
Finish is a sorta Danish Oil
I made patterns of the bench in case Ikea chooses
me as there designer. LoL
Well the sun was out in Ayrshire today
The pieces were to big for me to install alone
So I enlisted the help of my Jolly Rouges
Albert n Sanny
You can get by with a little help from my friends

A beautiful work of art. I have never hear of Wyche Elm, but your project has peaked my interest into wanting some. It looks hard and soft at the same time. The grains seem to flow as the sun hits it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mads,
This was made for a Architectect and his wife.
I was given the order 18 months ago and with the
move I’m a bit backlogged there is another piece
to be made for the garden but that design is fairly complex
The tree was a local dead standing tree that was cut for
safety reasons
There was not much usable timber in the tree about twice
the amount I used and that was from a limb
The wildlife got all the rest fair share I feel
This was the briefest brief that I was ever given
The location of four 3×3 posts in the ground
The builder sunk the posts and I did one site
visit and it fitted like a dream
I dont know if the clients have even seen it yet
as we just went in and sited it then left. :)
Aw wee surprise for them.
They have the Root Ball from another Wyche Elm
intheir front garden that they found as driftwood
So I’m waiting to here from them.
