100year old oak milled into a bench

[plippy]

[ATTACH]20657[/ATTACH] made a few with lags like this cut from forks in the same tree as seat part came from.

 

thats pretty cool:thumbup:, different idea that, theres all sorts of different ideas being posted, now i cant make up my mind how i want to do my next one

I would like a mill for stuff like that, nice work mate.

Here's a bench I made form a single oak, the branches form the legs. The leg closest to the camera has a steel plate bolted to the bottom of it and is concreted into the ground, thats how it stays the right way up.

That's nice the way the plank is fitted into each end

Major ball ache getting it out of the wood though, had to partially carve it then winch it 50yds to the trailer.
