Warning!!! This new project contains pictures of old wood. Not only old wood but abused old wood. So if you have a squeamish stomach turn away now!! LOL
I had in mind to do a new project,but didn't want to go and get new wood. Y'all know that involves looking at a lot of wood,feeling it,looking closely at it maybe even finding some new oils to put on it.......... ya know what I mean.
So I looked around the shop in my bin......

Picked out some construction grade 2x6's. Planed them to a level surface to work with, and got started.

Assemble all my needed tools of destruction.....check
Make big pieces of wood smaller......check!
Now I don't have all the requisite pictures of the process that I normally do.... So here is the finished project lol
This is a garden sitting bench. Kind of like a meditation bench I believe. I "distressed" the wood surface to make it look older than it already was and look very used. I used a file and even a chain in the process LOL Then afterwards I used a dark stain to put over the bench so when I wiped it off the darker stain stayed in the distressed parts and only slightly stained the flat surfaces.I even used the file to lower different parts of the edges to make it look like years of someone rubbing against it and rubbing it smooth.
