sourced timber.
available
A solid oak bench built around a hand-carved heart — made for wedding ceremonies, garden parties and outdoor settings where the occasion calls for something more considered than a standard seat.
The heart appears in the backrest in a way that reads clearly from both sides — which makes it a natural focal point for ceremonies, photographs and memorial spaces alike. This bench is built to a standard that matches the occasions it’s likely to witness: handfasted couples, retirement parties, memorial unveilings, a quiet corner of a country garden. The oak is solid throughout, the joinery traditional, the design present enough to matter without competing with whatever is happening around it.
Personalised inscriptions are available on request. Prices include VAT.

Your Version
If you need a specific size for a venue or aisle, or would like an inscription added to the heart or seat back, we can work with you on the details. Typical lead time is 4–5 weeks. Get in touch to discuss.
Finish
This piece is supplied unvarnished as standard. Left natural, solid oak 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.
More about the two finishes
Outdoor furniture takes a real beating from sun and weather. 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.
