Bench - what would you do with this?

yes – good plan. out with the old, in with the new (wood).

Sorry – I forgot to attach the pic – should be on this one.
The thought was to sandblast the metal and re-paint, and then do new wood of some type.

absolutely save it – it has great potential.
do it up nice with all exterior materials and if you don’t want
to keep it for your house, you can always sell it.

I”d be hard pressed not to revitalize it, good cast pieces are a shame to not re use, would be a great project to keep one outta the honey do sight. if you get my drift

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. I’m okay with tossing out the wood, but putting the metal in the trash bin just seemed wrong. Any suggestions on type of wood to use? Cypress, cedar or white oak seem like the better options so far, but I still have to get out and see what the places by me actually have. Sustainable, reasonable cost and low warpage are probably the main goals for it I think.

99$ on amazon. 56$ on hay needle. Count me out. The metal isn’t worth the hassle of refinishing. If the metal was custom and nice then yes.

I got the iron for one of those at the ReStore, and broke up a pallet for the wood. Put a lousy, non permanent finish on it though (Daly’s Sea Fin), so it’s going gray.
