{"product_id":"oak-heart-garden-park-bench","title":"Oak Heart Bench — Fan Back, Reclaimed Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-built oak bench with a fan-carved backrest and heart detail — reclaimed oak, a form inspired by the classic English park bench, made to last in gardens, parks and public spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fan back is one of those traditional garden bench designs that doesn’t date: the radiating slats draw the eye upward while keeping the seat open and airy, and the heart carved into the centre gives it a human touch without being fussy. Made from reclaimed and sustainable oak — wood that’s already lived one life and is ready for another — each bench carries an honesty of material that new-sawn timber rarely manages. The grain, the colour, the occasional knot are part of what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Available with personalised inscriptions and in bespoke dimensions — this is a bench that works equally well as a garden feature or as a commemorative seat in a park. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReclaimed and sustainable oak throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFan-carved backrest with heart centre detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid hand-built joinery\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\u003eTwo-seater, 140cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for gardens, parks and commemorative settings\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\u003eW140 × D45 × 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\u003eAvailable with a personalised inscription or adapted to bespoke dimensions.

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":53500155199863,"sku":"FRD-OTH-OAK-1232","price":2030.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57222615794039,"sku":"FRD-OTH-OAK-1232","price":2107.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/oak-heart-garden-park-bench-1482223.jpg?v=1759412177","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-fr\/products\/oak-heart-garden-park-bench","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
