Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I had a request to make a bench seat for outdoors from No 2 Son after seeing one his mates Dad made him.I started in in the last week of Jan and due to rain it was very slow progress.I used some of the old Queenslander stumps I had rescued from a house nearbyThe house still has the perimeter stumps in place but the inner ones supporting the actual house were replaced with steel posts in August 2017 and I hauled the discarded pieces home then.Its beautiful timber to work and provides fantastic finishes with but merciless on tools being so hard.as usual with recycled timber there is a additional amount of work to be conducted before being able to use it.Without going into a lot of detail here its the subject of a blog if you were interestedTimber Red IronBarkDimensions
The Seat section is 1.640 m x 380mm x 37mm
It has a 700mm Radius on each end.
Its made up of 3 x sections butt jointed and biscuited together.The legs are 390mm x 140 mm x50mm cut at 15 degThe supporting Blocks are 70 mm x 50 mm cut at 15 degHeight 400mm.There are 14 x 100mm deck screws and TB III glue attaching them to the underside of the seat
2 x in the legs and 3 x holding the blocks in place.The finish as you see it is sanding sealer, however Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus Pine will be applied over the next few days. See Note belowDust-free: after 4hours and recoatable after 16 – 24hours.
Recommend 3 coats for 2 to 4 years protection.
