These are two benches left here when we bought the property, as they had rotted wood and several coats of paint on the iron work. Since I have an aversion to throwing anything that might prove useful (much to my wife’s chagrin), I decided to make these part of my last winter projects. I stripped all the coats of paint then finished the iron work with Rustoleum primer and flat black enamel. The wood is common red oak finished with teak oil.

Thanks Tokolois. The compliment on garden belongs to Veronika. You should see her veggie and flower gardens for this year.
Hi Grizz! Yeah, life is a little easier down here. Fishing – yes, golf – never. My new goal is to watch my snow blower rust from disuse.

Great job on the restoration work John. I had one of these for a few years and finally threw it away. I did feel pretty guilty about it, but the Navy cured me of rust removal desires. Kudos for not being lazy like myself.

Another nice project, John. And what a beautiful setting you have them sitting in. Looks like you and I had the same winter project, check out my restoration I did.
