Well, almost finished. I still have some sanding and chisel work to do, attach the vintage bottle opener on one end, and possibly do either branding or inlaid antique horse shoes. Pretty simple and fun bench to make.
Thanks guys. Brett- I made the main sit part out of a ~150# log, so 75# for that. The end pieces are each maybe 30# or so. I would call it 100-110#. Not light. The next bench, which I'll start tomorrow, will have different end support logs and lighter.
tim - another reason why you are an awesome dad!!!! i heard ben took the pix of you on the bench. he needs a portfolio of the pix he's taken. maybe a future job as a nat'l geographic photographer.
Wow!!! That looks Awesome! Nice Work!
ReplyDeleteTim, that is awesome! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool. I bet your sons will never forget helping you with that.

Mom- Ya, that was Ben. His eye with a camera is astonishing! I have maybe 30 pictures he's taken that are unique and very well taken.
