Karen

Wow...That's great!!...Good find :)

I'm impressed. That's beautiful. I have several benches and a few iron chairs scattered throughout the garden.

TJ, I love it! I love that it is unique! I don't have a bench because I haven't seen one I like. I would take yours in a second! Thanks for showing us your creativity!
Joyce

Kym

TJ, I love it! How creative. If you hadn't told us it was and old headboard, I would never had guessed. Looks at home in the garden.

Applause Applause! That is beutyfull. I love it....Tj I bought that project from pinetree seeds where you can make your own bricks with names in it. They had it for 18 bucks. I wish I could play with it. Darn it it is too cold..Boo hoo

Isnt is fun to be creative keeps the mind young. Happy weekend! I hope to get outside and play in the gh finally....Lots of neat seeds to sow. Time to ws too the snow is here. Yippee Yahoo Smile Barb ps Did you get those huge castor bean seeds this year. The one they had posted the picture of. If you didnt let me know. I got some from pinetree I can share....They would look awesome in your yard for your tour.....Ricinus communis

Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments. I was a bit hesitant to post my bench photo, as I don't want to post too many OT posts. But right now I don't have any Brug pictures....Next gardening season...hopefully. I love making things from wood. My next goals are birdhouses. I have some I built when I first started gardening. But I need to add a few more as I already have the posts in ground and waiting there birdhouse.

Kym, it is very heavy...too bad you don't live next to me. We could build you one easily. It only took me one day to build it. I was very fotunate to have run into this headboard at a garage sale. I was driving by and they had it sitting propped up by a tree. Thank goodness there were no cars behind me as I lit the brakes and wound up getting the headboard for $2.

Barb, I purchased a castor bean plant a few years ago and it did seed. I do plant those seeds every year. But I'm not certain what variety it was. I do know it was one of the red castor beans. I still have not gotten my package out to you. :) It's coming....I promise.

TJ beautiful bench, wish I had the know how to do that. Don't worry about being off topic we all do it, besides were you really off topic? Everyone needs a beautiful bench so they can sit and admire their brugs.......see on topic!!!!!! LOL

Mary

Oh my god that is the prettiest bench!!! You are amazing and so talented! wow. oh my I got a wooden headboard in the shed...now i just need YOU here lol.

Thank you SO much for sharing the OT or what have you. There ARE hardly any other pictures out there now with brugs.

Lucy

What a beautiful bench. I love the unique headboard. Kylie has a pretty one on her porch made out of a bed too.

Post all those OT photos lol. Besides its winter....
I love your bed bench. I am gonna look at the habit for humanity store here and see if I can find some old headboards now. That is so beautiful and unique, I like the finish, it goes perfectly in the garden!

Tj, that is just beautiful! You are so talented and did a fantastic job with the bench. I love to see 'furniture' out in the garden.

TJ!!! You are so talented! First the beautiful GH & now that bench! So gorgeous!Do you just figure out what to do as you build? That's amazing!

Theresa

I forgot, I was gonna ask you, if the stain was water resistant or if you added a satin sealer type coating over it?

Theresa, I do everything in my head as I go along. I don't draw anything out. A few years ago, I built 2 benches, 2 chairs and a table for inbetween the chairs out of wooden pallets. I'll see if I can find some photos of these.

Lenette, I did use an exterior oil based stain. May have to add an exterior sealer too. But I want it to weather a little more before I add that. :)

I do hope I run into another interesting headboard as I would love to make another one. I don't want my gardens to get cluttered so I'm running out of areas to place things without seeing clutter. :( I suppose I could make things and sell them giving me a little plant money. If nothing else it would at least take care of my nervous energy. ha ha.

Thanks again everyone for your beautiful comments.

~Tj~

This was my very first big project I made. It took me weeks to get all my wood cut and everything put together. Fortunately, it's still standing. aaahhh ha ha.

~Tj~

Photobucket will not let me enlarge it.... I am so old my eyesite is going. LOL Tj from what I can see it is pretty. All your gardens are. I know what you mean about clutter. You should see my house. Not really.....Smile Barb

As everyone else has said, very very nice work, really elegant. Too bad our cold seasons are longer than the warm ones up here eh? Oh well, someday a heated shop in the garage....but then I wouldn't get to all the reading stuff I set aside during those warmer months.
stay warm,
Will
