Garden Bench Project

[jamie]

Since I am still new, you all have to tell me when to stop posting every little thing that I make

I have liked this garden bench that I saw in a magazine a few years ago. I had some cedar 2x4 stock left from a project/experiment a while back, and decided to put it to use. To see the "plan", take a look here.

It was a quick build, but all that I had time for over the busy weekend (I wish that they all had three days!).

The plans called for redwood, but there isn't much of that around here closer to the right coast

We do

They are Windmill Palms. They are cold-hardy to 5f. we have a few of them-- they make nice conversation pieces (see, I got you to converse about them!)

And in the winter, they remind us that we don't live in ohio anymore!

Nice bench, and to echo Phillip, you will never hear this group say "quit posting projects":nah::nah:

Looks great ... clean lines and a beautiful color.

Nice bench, I also saw the plans in I believe an older issue of Pop Wood. I built one about a year ago in White Oak and finished with Spar Varnish. My wife loved the Asian style....

Very nice! Please continue to post every little thing you make. Checking out other people's projects is one of my favorite things to do in the forum.

Great job on the bench, Jamie:icon_thum. Keep posting those pics.
That's a nice looking back yard too! Can I come over and play?:gar-La;

Thanks!

Sure, come on by. Note that there are only three swings

I can't take credit on the yard though, my wife is the one with the green vision and green thumb...
