jboyd Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 Hi Everyone, Just finished this bench. It ended up about 200 + lbs.Its 44 inches inside the arms. Best thing is it cost about $5.00 to build. I think it should last a while. It's been nice outside so I haven't done much scrolling lately. Quote
WolfmoonCT Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 It's a beast! but it's going to last a LONG time. Wish the deck on my house would of lasted as long as that bench is prob gonna last. LOL I take it you cut the tree and band sawed the planks for it? Quote
jboyd Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Posted May 2, 2011 Yes two different trees blown down a couple years ago in the woods. They were dry. Yes it's bandsawn. Quote
mikesscrollsaw Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 Looks great! Do you know what kind of trees those were? The colors looks great. Funny thing when I look at it I think of the flintstones. Quote
jboyd Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Posted May 2, 2011 Thanks, yeah they're red cedar it's very plentiful around here Quote
Clayton717 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 looks great, should last a long time. I wouldn't want to have to move that around alot Quote
Dan Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 The bench looks great. Looks like you have a few other bits of woodwork around the yard, too. Quote
