{"product_id":"memorial-bench-andy-mouse-hey","title":"Andy’s Memorial Bench — Carved \u0026 Painted Oak Tribute","description":"\u003cp\u003eAndy “Mouse” Hey was an athlete, a QPR supporter, a John Lennon believer, and someone whose passions ran wide and ran deep. This bench holds all of it. Carved from solid oak and painted by hand, it carries his wheelchair sport silhouette, the logos of the teams and artists he loved, a quote that was his — \u003cem\u003e“Imagine all the people, living life in peace”\u003c\/em\u003e — and the names of his family, carved into the wood that will carry them for as long as the bench stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNothing on this bench was generic. Every element was asked about, designed around, revised and refined. The QPR badge. The BTS logo. The carved detail on the armrests. The exact wording of the inscription. When a family gives you that level of trust, the only right response is to get every detail right — and then give it back to them as something permanent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAndy’s bench is one of the fullest examples of what bespoke means in our workshop. If the person you’re remembering had passions that don’t fit neatly into a standard memorial, that’s exactly what we’re here for. Tell us what mattered to them. We’ll carve it. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/pages\/contact\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGet in touch to begin.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved and painted solid oak — fully bespoke design throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheelchair sport silhouette carving (as shown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClub and artist logos carved and painted to order (QPR, BTS shown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarved inscription across the front rail — any quote, any words\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily names carved into the backrest panels\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\u003e3-seater solid oak bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree-seater bench (as shown)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 160cm | Depth: 60cm | Height: 120cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-seater bench\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 140cm | Depth: 60cm | Height: 120cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more specific you are, the better we can make it.

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":55326010933623,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1029","price":2310.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57222616842615,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1029","price":2744.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/andys-memorial-bench-3-seater-tribute-to-triathlete-6074212.jpg?v=1759411953","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/memorial-bench-andy-mouse-hey","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
