All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Jeff B,

That's a great looking bench you made! You might of made it too good though. If the right, or wrong, person sees it, you'll have to make another. And another. And then you'll be making log cabin kits. And then you'll be so busy you'll wonder how you ever found time to go to work!

Jeff

I'm making another tomorrow. :D  Actually, because two 8 foot logs will make two benchs. If I sawed them into lumber they would probably make 6. :D

Pretty easy to make, I scribed it with a home made scribe (two wooden rulers screwed togehter to form a compass, with a short pencil taped to one. :D) then traced it with the chainsaw, then just made releave cuts to the scribe line with the saw. Pretty quick. I actually had fun making this one. The slab top fit perfect the first time I turned it over.

Tommorrow I will probably have nothing but trouble. :D

Jeff,

Did you notch the top or the legs? Your notches are so good I can't tell.

Here is a set of benches to go around a fire pit being built but the Durango Log Company.  Said it took a couple of guys a day to build a set.  Cost about $1,800.00

 Are you going to treat them with something or let them go natural.
I have a nice cedar half that I want to do the same thing with but hate to  see the elements get to it.

Last time I was at Cabela's they had a lot of log benches like Jeff's.  I took a picture of this one just because it was a little different.  Would be sorta interesting to know what they paid for those benchs.

I notched the seat. If you notch the supports you would have a place for water to collect. I will let them go natural till they dry out some, prolly a year, then I'll spray them with the same deck stain I use on my deck. A light cedar color.
