Colorful, Rustic Bench
Do you ever create something and just sigh...ah, yes, THIS is me, THIS is the one. That is what happened when I made this bench.
It isn't all that different from my typical style, but the wood edge and legs really made the colors pop for me.
I started by cutting a bunch of painted pallet boards (PAINT TECHNIQUE HERE) the same length (12 inches maybe, I don't remember).
I joined them together with a pallet board running down the middle of them, screwing in from the underside.
I then cut reclaimed oak board to the length of the joined pallet boards, and 2 shorter pieces for the width. I screwed this into the thicker pallet wood pieces.
I added 2x2 legs with a brace in between them--this makes for a more stable bench.
I used stain on all of it afterwards--in Provencial I believe.
Something about that rustic wood and those bright colors that speak to me.
