Very cool I guess you don’t rock backwards in this seat,

Thats really nice, reminds me of the projects my uncle used to do, there were antlers and other various deer parts incorporated into much of his furniture. looks really sturdy as well

Call me a nervous Dad… but I can’t help think of a missing eye from a kid climbing on this or running around this, or even worse walking or running across it and falling and getting impaled… ( I know I should practice what I preach with the tip on my sons sword in my gallery ) but he’s almost 14 and the kids I’m picturing are the 4 to 8 year old little ones that really don’t pay attention to things like this and they go full throttle and hard when they play. It would be a great if you modified it to have a backrest that is open on the bottom to show off the antlers but just high enough to encompass and go over them, nice and thick since the base is heavy like that too, then also make it usable as a higher up back rest.

Either way the idea and workmanship is awesome; Great Job!

we solved that problem by keepng it against a wall . all of the antlers slope back more then the picture shows. this bench is very heavy so it wasn’t scooted around easy by kids.

This is a great bench Steve. I wish we had better photos of the legs and knew the type of wood you used…...........

neat concept, and cool look.
I wouldn’t have wanted this sitting by the door while I was in college with folks stumbling in late at night (roommates of course).

keep them coming,
