I made these two benches using old recycled timber which I sanded back and varnished.  The legs came from Bunnings!

These benches are really beautiful @Allykj. Love your work!

I'm sure you'll get plenty of questions from community members in future about replicating your handiwork. 

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jason! I also upcycled the table, sideboard and mirror! Fresh coats of paint and new handles 🤩

Those bench seats look amazing, I much prefer them over single seats especially at parties.

Wher did you manage to grab the timber from?

Thanks Dave! I sourced them from a random guy on Facebook marketplace. I had been looking at the tip shop for a while but they hadn’t had the perfect ones! The would have been from an old building as they had flaking paint on them.

I constantly scan rubish piles for council pickup for the same reason
