Recycling Redwood

Here is a bench I made for my wife to put her plants on. I made it from an old redwood deck Kelly Hanna and I pulled up. I saved some boards that were in fair condition. I slathered (technical term) on a good coat of BLO to protect it. The dark spots are from the old nail holes that give it "character".

The style is from a bench in Wood Mag. (I think) with some alterations I made that were inspired from a bench I saw at clients house.

Thanks for looking.

That looks really nice. Way to reuse that old stuff. And you got paid to take it out too!

Pretty nice. It should weather to a nice grey.

Very nice! You did those boards justice. Plus now the old deck can live on :)
