This is how the Dane spent spare time in July and August.
Actually, the long bench on the right was built in 2006, using a pattern in WOOD Magazine.
The chair is an option detailed in the original WOOD article, and the glider is a varient of the optional settee in the same article.
The stock used is Western red cedar from a local home center.
The finish used is a two-part epoxy (2 coats … Smith & Co.’s CPES Warm – Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer) and three coats of spar varnish (Epifanes Gloss Clear Varnish). The finishing materials came from Jamestown Distributors (http://www.jamestowndistributors.com).
The original bench has sat outside year-round, and cleans up with a little OxyClean and warm water.

That is a beautiful set of garden furniture. The finish looks nice and it sounds durable. The setting looks very peaceful and relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Dane, Great work.. I have benches very similar to the ones you made on my list so it is nice to see what I’m missing… Keep up the great work.

Beautiful work: it looks like it will last several lifetimes. We need some furniture for our garden for which I’m in the market for some recycled oak. I’ll favourite this project if you don’t mind, as I need some reference sources.

I made two garden chairs a couple of years ago and used the same finish. They were made from white oak and they still look new. I like your design better.
