Brought new life to a garden bench that was falling apart. Literally falling apart with rotten wood and rusty cast iron with bits of algea growing on it.
Tore it completely down. Custom cut and shaped new planks. I routed the edges to soften them on your backside.
I stained the planks with aged barrel stain and top coated with 3 coats of exterior grade spar urethane.
I hit the cast iron with rust dissolver and a wire wheel to clean it up and prep for finish. I finished it off with black semi gloss enamel.
And just for consistency I used black powder coated bolts to hold it all together.
It's surprisingly comfortable. This one is for me to keep. But I offer similar services for customers.
