I had a little bit of a break this week from work so I made some benches for the sides of our dining room table.

The legs are pieces of driftwood I found on local beaches. I like the rough, battered look. I stuck to square pieces for the legs because they were easier to cut on the miter saw and make even.

The saman wood is the wood I wrote about in this post.

Every once in a while I enjoy a woodworking project. It’s in my blood. Now that these benches are done, we’ll be able to sit around the dining room table as a family again for the first time in over two years.
