Victorian bench reclaimed
I discovered two wooden benches hidden away in my garden. They had victorian cast iron bench ends but the wood was rotten. I removed the old paint layers and sanded the rust back (not a quick job), I then resprayed them with a galvanised metal spray. I sourced two pieces of oak from a wood reclamation yard. Once they were sanded and shaped I treated them with a rich oak wax finish. This is going to be used as a new dining bench in our kitchen. Now to start the other one...........
