{"product_id":"hand-made-wooden-garden-bench","title":"Hand-Carved Garden Bench — Cedar or Oak, 2 Seater","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCedar 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bench seats two adults comfortably at 140cm wide.

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 timber is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Douglas Fir \/ Cedar \/ Unvarnished","offer_id":53500186526071,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1100","price":1520.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak \/ Unvarnished","offer_id":53500186558839,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1101","price":1710.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Douglas Fir \/ Cedar \/ Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57222621790583,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1100","price":1595.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak \/ Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57222621823351,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1101","price":1786.11,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/hand-carved-wooden-garden-bench-2-seater-9017218.jpg?v=1759411988","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-fr\/products\/hand-made-wooden-garden-bench","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
