    Jim, what a great piece! I wish my neighbours had junk like that to get rid of! I love the way the wood seems alive. Works very well with the surroundings, and it will serve well as a tough, useful piece.

    Thanks for sharing the pics

    Thanks, folks. I really enjoy making these natural edge pieces. They have a lot of character. Ed, who gave me the piece I used for the top of this bench had his "opening" at the America Designs gallery in Lambertville NJ on Saturday. His show, entitled "Sticks and Stones" is great. He's an outstanding cabinetmaker by day and his introspective sculpture is wonderful. His wife is also a talented artist. (This is the fellow who commissioned me to make the gavel for awhile back that went to someone associated with Rago Auctions.)

    At any rate, the slab from Ed combined with portions of a slab off my property made for a very nice addition to our home. And now on to other projects on "the list"...
