Potting Bench
$125
Medium
I made this potting bench from red wood seconds, discard corrugated sheet metal roof, and other odds and ends. I wanted a very very red stain and the local art store sold me acrylic red pigment and silk screen medium to mix as a stain. Seems to have absorbed very well, and then some exterior minwax urethane.
The bench with chair spindle rail, etc.
parts of an old chair for the rail
some cast iron bric a brac from the flea market. Notice the red does not hide the grain of the wood.
