Hand-Carved Garden Bench — Cedar or Oak, 2 Seater

A hand-carved two-seater garden bench made from your choice of cedar and Douglas Fir or solid oak — built to live outside year-round and improve with age rather than suffer from it.

Cedar and Douglas Fir are chosen for outdoor furniture because they handle the elements with particular grace: naturally resistant to moisture, lightweight for their strength, and possessed of a warmth that deepens rather than fades over years in the garden. The oak version brings harder, denser grain and the quiet authority of a piece that means business. Both are hand-carved in our Mid Wales workshop — the carving details, dimensions and any personalisation worked out with you before we begin.

The bench seats two adults comfortably at 140cm wide. Also available in bespoke dimensions on request. Prices include VAT.

Finish

This piece is supplied unvarnished as standard. Left natural, solid timber slowly weathers to a soft, silvery-grey — completely normal for outdoor timber, a graceful way for a piece to age, and with no maintenance needed. If you’d prefer to bring out the grain and warm, honeyed tones, choose the varnished option (+£50) and we’ll hand-apply three coats of Epifanes, a premium marine yacht varnish.
