    Default Garden Bench

    The wood used in this project was salvaged from a late 1600's early 1700's home in my area. The most tedious part was finding and pulling all those square cut nails before milling the wood to size..

    That came out really NICE! (watch out for the "apostrophe police", though...there should be no apostrophe after the name)

    EDIT: On second thought...perhaps the apostrophe is fine...as it could be read as plural, not possessive

    That is beautiful! And you are so lucky to find such remarkable wood. I go recycling every week, And I love to turn trash into treasure!

    That is an exceptional nice bench. Would certainly look nice on a porch or out even in the garden.
