{"product_id":"rainbow-memorial-garden-bench-hand-carved-solid-oak","title":"Rainbow Memorial Garden Bench | Hand-Carved Solid Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome pieces take on a life of their own during making — and this is one of them. A bespoke memorial garden bench, hand-carved from solid oak, created to celebrate and remember two very special people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe centrepiece of the backrest is a sweeping, hand-painted rainbow arching above a pair of clasped hands, each wearing a friendship bracelet. Carved clouds frame the scene on either side, and two bold red hearts sit warmly at the edges — full of love and meaning. At the very top of each post, a delicately carved butterfly watches over the bench: one amber and golden, one teal and soft. These two butterflies are the bench in miniature — the same bond, the same difference, the same care for one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe front legs tell their own stories. On one side, a hare sits alert among hand-painted sunflowers with a little bee buzzing nearby. On the other, a charming highland cow peers out from a riot of sunflowers, wearing a tiny flower crown. Every carving was designed around the people being remembered — the animals they loved, the colours that meant something, the details that only people who knew them would recognise. Every inch was carved and painted by hand in the Free Range Designs workshop in Mid Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRainbow centrepiece with clasped hands\u003c\/strong\u003e — friendship bracelets on each wrist, hand-painted in full colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo butterfly finials\u003c\/strong\u003e — one amber, one teal; each carved and painted individually at the post tops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHare and highland cow leg carvings\u003c\/strong\u003e — surrounded by hand-painted sunflowers, each leg its own scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo carved red hearts on the backrest edges\u003c\/strong\u003e — bold and warm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully bespoke design\u003c\/strong\u003e — every carving and motif chosen around the people being remembered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid oak throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e — built to last outdoors for decades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree coats Epifanes matt varnish\u003c\/strong\u003e for lasting outdoor protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-carved and painted in Mid Wales\u003c\/strong\u003e — every detail by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Solid oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Epifanes matt varnish, 3 coats, with hand-painted colour detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeating: please \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003econtact us\u003c\/a\u003e for exact dimensions — all benches are made to order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have people to remember and a vision — however formed or however vague — this is exactly where to start.
