Made entirely of reclaimed wood from storage. The zinc top, originally made for dining (pictured elsewhere--constructed for $250) works better outside. Zinc is a "living metal" and shows EVERYTHING. When outside, you just don't care. When it gets dirty or pooped on (by birds), just hose it off! The base is constructed from a variety of scrap wood in garage, including some old shelf brackets. The bench is entirely made from deck boards and the legs are from deck spindles. Finished in a marine varnish so that it can be cleaned and dry, even after a heavy rain.
