Our beam bench utilizes salvaged local pine logs for a rustic bench for indoors or (protected) outdoors. Narrow and backless, the simple lines express the natural texture of the end grain of each species. The 12" x 12" beam is milled and finished to sit on mild steel legs that cuts through the sides. The beam bench brings primitive beauty at a variety of lengths. Cracks, knots and variation is part of the beauty of these pieces. The wood will continue to move and the finish to patina over time. The finish is a low sheen, urethane. Regular maintenance, frequency depending on the exposure, will extend the life of this product. Steel is coated and polished with a black patina and wax, but it will rust if outside.
