Cardinals & Another Razorback Bench
« on: March 04, 2012, 02:25:45 am »
Made this first Cardinals bench for my best friend { A Surprize Gift } - and this second Razorback bench is for my brother-in-law that helped me build my workshp some 9 years ago . I'm going to take them to there doorsteps on Saturday March 17 - hope they are delighted for I've busted my rear on these two benches . I have just two more benches that I'll finish and I'm retireing form these benches , the hardest part is stripping and sanding them . Routeing , staining, and applying the finished coats of poly is a breeze . I am going to make a Razorback bench for my self too , why not . Any comments are welcome .............MB

beautiful benches, there is a lot of hard work in them as Pete said, but by looking at the finished item it was worth it.

The benches turned out great!  Well worth all the work that went into them.  They are something that can be passed on for generations.
