Garden Bench (New Life)
This is a bench that I refurbished using 4/4 Cypress to replace the seat and back. The orginal back was a vinly so that had to be replaced and I was up to the task. Now this is sitting outside the back porch to enjoy the morning sun drinking coffee and watching the birds.
Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome.
This catches me up on projects during my hiatus.

Barb, thanks. We enjoy it in the mornings with coffee. Now I need a couple of small tables to flank the ends of the bench.
Ron, thanks. It is comfortable, a tad bit low for me, but I like it.
Yrti, thanks. Cypress is nice to work with too, straight grained. And I found a supplier close by with good prices.
Ron S. thanks. The old owner was amazed. I offered to pay for the old one, after it was seen, it's like dang I have have collected. Too Late, Oh So Sorry. Not.

Very nice work Eric, looks like new.
Looks very sturdy and stable, recycle & reuse. Enjoy your coffee. Snowed here yesterday, less than 10mm but I'm still at least a month away from my morning tea and bench time. I'll have to keep my eye out for some cypress.
Some of my most creative moments have been when I've had to cover up an error in my woodworking.
Looks real good....good for another 100 years!!!!!!!!!!!!
