Very nice. The curves really make the benches unique and one of a kind.

Nice looking benches. What do you fasten the slabs to the benches with?

I have done a similar design and counter sunk 3/8" x 3" lag bolts but then needed to cap a 3/4" hole. Hard to find 3/4" caps. I then thought some ornamental black lag bolts sunk even with the surface would match the rustic intent. I have not found any reasonably priced. They are custom made on web sites and they want an arm and a leg.

Very nice. I especially like the one that looks (to me) spalted.
