This is a seat that I make. Can be any size you want and is made from recycled bridging timbers - ironbark, yellowbox, redgum, jarrah etc. for those of you who would like to make your own - AVOID CREOSOTE IMPREGNATED TIMBER!!!! Dreadful stuff and I still cringe when I think of how horrible creosote can be. The stains, stench and carcinogenic qualities are best avoided.....The one pictured is from ironbark that had a former life as a part of St.Kilda pier. Price delivered and installed is $360. The timber itself is expensive and it's all laboriously hand tooled (note the sliding tenon join) and oiled. More can be seen on my Garden Furniture page here.
