Just a little time and darn little cash, but my wife thinks it's GREAT so was worth it.

thats my style too tmarch.  Looks real good.  Those are some BIG worm holes.  I was thinking maybe a ranch brand that you burned in??

Wow, you just gave me a idea. I have a curved oak log at the mill, perfect for a bench back. Our "Relay for Life" is coming up in about a month.... Maybe a bench for a fund raiser!
Thanks!!

I was gonna start another thread, but since this one is here already..........  So far I've donated 3 of these benches to cancer care organizations and they have brought in an average of $300 each.  Helps them out and makes me feel good. :)

8) I'm in luck!!!  If by "rustic" you mean beat up, scratched, worn, kinda dirty, weathered, greyed out on top.... well that's me!!!   I'm the "in" kinda guy afterall.

Now that is the way to bring smiles to many faces and joy to many hearts.  You are a "Good Samaritan" tmarch.
