On the estate we have had two workers died of cancer in a year. i have been asked to make a bench out of a whole oak trunk to which a plaque will be fitted.has anyone got any good pictures of seats to help me get started. many thanks i am sure you will help.

I did a Google search on:

 

"rustic furniture benches" using the quotes, then go to Images up on top.

A couple of years ago Jeff Higley was invited to come and transform an Oak trunk into a memorial bench which was named 'To dream of Birds'

My involvement was merely to cut the trunk to size and under Jeff's eye, cut out its very basic shape before sitting back and becoming mesmerised by Jeff and Kates craft.

Hope this gives you something to ponder.

That's supposed to be a bird?

No mention of the seat being a bird.

 

The memorial was to a local bird watcher, so the trunk has been given avian like features.

I recall the sculptor saying he saw a sleeping bird in side; before the first cut was made.

 

I guess we all see things differently MB

Ha, I agree. It looks like a sea creature to me.

 

"Avian-like?" LOL!!!
