A trio of benches


Bench #79, #80, and #81. Three of my benches on display at the Dalton Center for the Arts in Rock Hill S.C. as part of the York County Magazine Art Show

Bench #67


Bench #67 was the first of what I now call Design #67. I will be evolving this design with a number of local wood species and some very subtle changes.
She has been safely delivered to her new home.

Bench #76 in Mulberry


You cab see and sit on this bench at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens through August 23rd!
Mulberry wood is naturally rot resistant for 45 years in contact with the ground!
This Mulberry tree came from Rock Hill city office property and was cut for safety reasons.
Once again Mr Floyd's Tree Service was looking out for me!

Sugarberry


Bench #80 in Spalted Sugarberry
Thanks to M.H. Floyd Tree Service this did not end up in York County Landfill.
You can see and sit on this bench at New South Interiors in Rock Hill!
M.H. Floyd Tree Service of Rock Hill, Mr Floyd directs Todd as he cut the top out of a storm damaged Sugarberry tree. Mr. Floyd and his crew are my primary source for trees to use in my furniture.
