Firepit Bench project

[woodlandfarms]

Pulled a bent cedar over the other day. Was getting ready to turn it into firewood and then it hit me to try and slab it with the Alaskan mill. Learned a lot, will be better the next time.

Now just working on getting some "feet" under it, v cut rounds from another part of the tree will work.

That will be a great project!

Great, now I have 105 things to do around here. Thanks a LOT! :laughing:

That is going to be a great looking bench. I am jealous as we don't get cedar like that here.

That's pretty cool, looks perfect for a bench.

Awesome idea!!!! Now I'm going to go look for a curved tree on my land.

Instead of using wood for the feet under it, which always seem to rot out pretty quickly, can you use rock or even blocks?

Looks good. I have something similar we cut from poplar but half that long.

You may already know this but you'll need a center foot. One person sitting in the center with out one will flip the whole mess over backwards. Ask me how I know

That is nice:thumbsup:. I love working with wood and some trees on my property that have some large burls I am keeping my eye on.

That would also make a great bench for inside a house or covered porch.

Wow that is awesome! you could pour some piers for it to sit on, or Robin Wood :: wooden bowls & plates :: traditional turning :: spoon carving :: countryside furniture has some examples of wooden benches.
