{"product_id":"hand-carved-tiger-bench","title":"Hand-Carved Tiger Bench — Three Seater Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eA three-seater oak bench with hand-carved tigers on the armrests and backrest — the kind of piece that stops people in their tracks whether it's standing in a garden, beside a river, or at the edge of a wildlife park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTigers are chosen for their power and their tenderness. They're fierce protectors as much as they are wild things, and that duality is what makes them such a natural fit for a bench that's meant to endure. Each face is carved individually, the grain of the oak working with the lines of the chisel to give each tiger its own expression. The bench has been placed in school wildlife gardens, beside rivers, and in memorial settings for people whose spirit matched the animal — it works in all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The carving is deep enough to hold its definition outdoors for years. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid oak throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved tigers on armrests and backrest — three-dimensional, detailed carving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-seater, 160cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — supplied unvarnished as standard, or add three coats of Epifanes yacht varnish for lasting colour and sheen (+£50)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for gardens, parks, wildlife centres and memorial settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW160 × D60 × H120cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height approx 45cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tiger Bench can be made as a memorial piece with a personalised inscription, or simply as a striking garden seat.

Left natural, an unvarnished piece simply silvers over time and asks nothing of you. A varnished piece keeps its rich sheen for a couple of years; after that the varnish may begin to flake or patch, at which point you can simply re-coat it, or let it weather back to that natural silvery-grey. Either way, your oak is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Unvarnished","offer_id":53500139864439,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1312","price":2310.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57222615597431,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1312","price":2625.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/tiger-bench-3-seater-9233068.jpg?v=1759412268","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/hand-carved-tiger-bench","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
