A wooden bench or deck chair is often
only used for few minutes.
![]() This bench was created using materials left at the curb. (Wood and hardware which made a bed frame and head board.) Comfort is less of an issue for a bench, as to convenience. It must safely allow a person(s) to sit down for a moment to tie a shoelace, or wait for someone before an outing. I was out for some exercise one day, when I saw a pile of wood left at the curb for trash day. I just knew it could be the raw materials for repairing a rotting bench on my patio. So I rode my bicycle back home, fired up the station wagon and went back to save the wood. I met two others out for exercise as I began to put it into my car. They smiled and encouraged me to do something with it, to save it from the trash. Once I looked at the beautiful wood. . . I decided to take a repair job and turn it into a nice new piece of furniture. One of my ancestors was a well known furniture designer, maybe a bit of that was in me. I think it was . . . is. Taking rough measurements from the older bench and adding in some of my own ideas yielded this two seat bench. ![]() Designed and built, full size, working model.
