Very pretty, dkline! Do you add cushions for sitting? Or pots of flowers? Love it! Jeanne S.

That is really nice!!! Inviting seat with architectural interest. Deb, y'all could make some cash selling these if you were so inclined. Great job!

The wagon wheel bench sounds very interesting .... post pics later please! ~tenderlee

Great job! Thanks for sharing your creations with us!

Thank you all. I was thinking of making some cushions for it. I thought that would kind of set it off. I have tried to sell this one but no takers yet. I was asking $75 for it. I didnt think that was too much to ask. What do you think?? When I get the wagon wheel headboard I will post pics of that.

That is lovely, looks professional and I don't think $75.00 is too much, but I guess it depends on what kind of area you are in.

Deb, craigslist might be the way to go. I would think that a good photo and a price between $60 to $150, depending on each bench (cushions, etc), should sell them. I think $75 is a very good price without cushions. Maybe $100 or more if you make one with outdoor fabric.

At a yard sale people tend to want to pay $2 for everything LOL .... that's my favorite price 2 bucks. But your bench will need advertised, or sold at a market or something else like a local hardware store etc (if you know anyone). eBay is also another possibility, you can list it as a local pick up item only, no shipping offered with the sale.

Don't give them away .... unless you're making them for family keepsakes etc. Christmas or birthday gifts maybe. That's a gift that would last through the years, very nice work! ~tenderlee

That's really nice. Now there's a problem...too many headborad benches, lol. I agree a cushion would look nice and I would have to stencil (or hand paint if you're able) some flowers on that large top board and maybe the sides of the seat. Or maybe a short verse across the top board.
I remember those wagon wheel beds. Some were solid maple many moons ago. That ought to be a pretty one, too.
Is there any kind of "boutique" store near you that might sell them on commission? Seems like with the holidays comming up you ought to be able to sell a few of these, that would look so pretty with fall and Christmas type decorations.

I love it too. I think $75 is a very fair price to ask. I do not think
I would like to have a bed with wagon wheels, but turned into a benchh sound really great. Please keep us updated on that one. I have got to just jump in and make one of these, I have really been intimidated and I see the old beds in the trash every week.

Very attractive and I agree that $75 is a good price.

That is really cute. I don't think $75 is to much either. Can't wait to see the wagon wheel bench.

You did a wonderful job on it--it's really a nice bench. Luvs

Looking great! They are fun to make. I tried to get $75 for mine also but no takers. I did end up selling 2 of them for $50 each.

It turned out very pretty! Some benches look like I made them ... lol ... they have big chunks of wood to add height. Yours looks like a bench that wasn't made from a bed. lol! I don't think $75 is too much either. Maybe a cushion would help it sell. It has a nice enough seat (edges to hold a cushion in place) for a comfortable cushion. Be sure to post pictures of the wagon wheel bench!

I love that bench!
I think $75 is a very good price for it - wish I had the skill to build my own!
You could make up a bunch of them and sell at a craft/art fair.
I went to one this summer where a vendor was selling reclaimed wood benches and chairs for $300 to $900.
They were NOT as nice as your bench.
They were wood benches painted bright colors- no backs or arms -nice, but I like your bench better.
