Making a Garden Bench

May 20, 2009

Recycled Garden BenchWe had a glass table in the garden and one day it shattered. So we came up with this solution for recycling it. We used left over wood planks and even the last of the stain we had for the deck. Here is what we came up with. A two seater chair for the deck! With a wide enough arm to place a drink or plate. Its comfy too!

This is a picture of the raccoon bench that I painted about 3 years ago. I varnished with a non-yellowing varnish about 5 times over the whole bench, paying particular attention to the "feet" of the bench.
