Nice Bench.

Nice bench ! I made the same mistake on my first bench too – pretty easy to do . . .

That’s a sweet looking bench. I just built some outdoor furniture and really enjoyed doing it. You picked a stellar finish, Waterlox products are the best, I have used them for years. Nice job.

jim c – while the wheel barrow idea is creative, it wouldn’t fit on my porch.
helluvawreck – thanks! The design form the Wood Mag plans did create something that should last a long time. Arms and legs are actually laminated from 2 pieces.

I should have stated I did not build it.
I found the picture on the internet and thought it was clever. When spring comes and the shop thaws out I may build this as it’s practical and a comversation piece.
One of the great things is if it’s on the lawn, it can easily be moved for mowing.
