I designed and built this outdoor bench for the Woodland Garden Trail at the Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich, Vermont in the spring of 2011, and built it again in 2024.  The leg forms have a hand carved surface texture.  It is made from locally grown white oak, which is very rot resistant and durable for outdoor use.  All of the hardware on the bench is stainless steel, and the leg forms have stainless steel levelers hidden underneath.  The finish is an environmentally friendly non-toxic and all natural plant-based oil finish made for outdoor use.

I can make this bench design in other woods, and in custom sizes, for indoor or outdoor use.

Note:  I have had to raise the price of this piece significantly in 2024, due to the steep rise in hardwood pricing that has been happening in the past few years, and also the rise in pricing for stainless steel hardware.  This piece has a lot of handwork in both the construction of the piece, and the shaping and hand carving of the legs, which is also reflected in the pricing.

If you are interested in this design for indoor use, or in a different wood besides white oak, please contact me for a price quote.  Stainless hardware is only required for outdoor use. This design would work well in walnut, ash, cherry, maple or other woods for an indoor bench.  I can also make it in painted and dyed wood versions.  Please contact me to discuss different options.
