{"product_id":"woodcutters-bench","title":"Woodcutter's Bench — Reclaimed Welsh Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eA garden bench built the way the woodland imagines it — rough-hewn reclaimed Welsh oak, naturally weathered, nothing softened or smoothed away. The Woodcutter's Bench is as honest as the tree it came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade from reclaimed oak sourced in Wales, each piece carries the marks of its previous life: the grain, the colour shifts, the occasional knot that makes it unmistakably real. A hand-carved heart in the backrest gives it warmth without prettiness — this is a bench for gardens that are actually used, not just looked at. At 90cm wide it seats one person deeply and comfortably, or two who don't mind being close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to live outside year-round — in the garden, beside a vegetable patch, or tucked into a corner of the grounds. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReclaimed Welsh oak — each bench unique, naturally weathered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved heart motif on the backrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid hand-built joinery throughout\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\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW90 × D40 × H110cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height: 45cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bench can be adapted — a different carving detail, a personal inscription, a wider 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":53500136292727,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1329","price":1140.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57222615302519,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1329","price":1214.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/woodcutters-bench-8415832.jpg?v=1759412259","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/woodcutters-bench","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
