Sometimes a Bench like that, and a quiet spot for reflection, is all it takes to get one outside even on a bright sunny day in the winter.
Very nice, Enjoy.

Thanks everyone. I thought the contours might be a bit extreme, but yes its very comfy. I used tung oil for a finish. Now if only old man winter would let go of us..

Beautiful bench! It’s 75 degrees here in East Tennessee this afternoon. I’ve quit working at 5pm and I’ve got a cold one in hand and I’m headed outside to sit under my trees on my bench and enjoy the afternoon.

Looks great. Looks very similar to some I recently made, except I didn’t have that angled support in front. I’m sure it’s very comfortable!

Great bench. My family has camping property with a central fire pit area. A couple benches like this would be a nice fit for enjoying the evening campfire.

Nice looking bench you did a good job. Can’t help but wonder how durable tung oil is especially for out door use.

Your absolutely right Jim, probably not the best choice, but I really like the way tung oil brings out the color in cedar and leaves it feeling natural. I might need some help, I’m like that little old lady for the Franks Red Hot commercial.. I put that @#$% on everything! It will be under cover in foul weather and the winter months so that will help… time will tell. Always look forward to your comments, thanks for looking.

Te conotures and curves set it apart. The cedar will silver nicely.
