I’m thinking about making some outdoor furniture. Ie a table and 2 bench seats. I thought about using treated pine but was worried about the safety of that and then considered merbau decking for the bench and table tops but was wondering if I should use hardwood for the legs. I know I could use merbau as well but I am not a massive fan of the glued timber and can’t seem to find solid merbau. Then if I use hardwood it will never match the prestained merbau? So does that mean either I use the glued merbau or use hardwood for the whole project. In which case what timber would be good for the table top and legs?
