Garden Bench

[hoodoo]

I made a garden bench using plans from Steve Ramsey from woodworkingformeremortals.com. It is very sturdy and once the white paints it I think it will look great as well.

​

5-12 EDIT: Here is the complete bench. I really wanted to write something on the top slat of the back but decided against it due to my skill with a brush or router.

Nice bench but... how do you get any gardening work done sitting on the bench?

Very nice bench!

Nice bench. Will it have a finish?

Unfortunately nothing more than a little paint. We have some leftover white paint from paint our shed that I think will work fine. I will update the thread later this week when it is complete.

It looks great! Dont forget to seal all the knots with bullseye shellac prior to paint or they will bleed through forever!

Thanks for the tip.
