My first attempt at making a rustic chair & bench. Once you get over your "fear" of running a handheld circular saw, all is good! LOLS

Warning though....if you are any sort of a carpenter, please don't look too close!! I do however, need to make the "birdholes" bigger, but that was the biggest bit I had.

The chair was my first attempt and the little bench the second one. I need to go find some "real" old barnwood though, as now I have some better idea's on what I want to make.

What has anyone else started this year?

Need to put different pots "with" it...

and oh yes, the ol' daxie had to get in the action too:)

I love them, Deb! Great job...and the wonderful thing about 'rustic' is it doesn't have to be perfect!

Really nice! You've captured the rustic look very well. Power tools can be one of our best friends. :) What's next? Hope you will post pictures.

thanks ladies! right now, I have too many other things to tackle in the yard, but will post pics of any new ones I make (want a bench that I could sit on! LOLS)
The pondless waterfall is on my priority list but am desperately hoping I can find someone to help me soon with the heavy stuff. What a person could do with a little bobcat sitting in their yard!

love benches! I want more "hardware" in my yard, but my other half wants stuff OUT of the yard. The only thing he wants is a bench to sit on at the corner.

However, we have projects!

this flower bed is being removed- three years ago it was a useless pond (6 inches deep and 2X3 MAX) we took out and I've been trying to get a shade bed finished but it sucks, so we are removing it and paving it with brick to extend the deck. This is a gradual summer project. The shade plants will go even further into the shadow of the house, and the irises go in the walkway beds

His projects all involve the garage. However, he has edged all of my gardens (that needed it) with timbers.
