This is my first benc project cut from some pine logs given to me by a school we are remodeling. I cut the logs on my WM 130 and kiln dried. I am donating the bench back to the school. The legs were painted red as that is the school color

Great looking benches for sure. The best use for those gnarly, knotty slabs. Great work.

You're going to have to show us more pictures.  :o
That looks great!  How did you make the legs?

Yellow I bought the legs online from a site called Etsy. I guess it like eBay or amazon. They were a bit pricey at 115 a pair but I don't have time to build them and am back logged on projects. This is the only other picture I have of finished project. Man do you chase your tail on a two sided epoxy project. I need to find some non self leveling

I love it.  Very nice job on the bench.  It is amazing how good gnarly pine turns out.
