This is my last bench , and my cousin that lives in the New Orleans will pick his up in the fall - I think he'll like it . I was given 5 of these 10 foot benches and this is the last one - I'm retiring from the bench refinishing - to much hard work cutting these things down and stripping the old finish off them . But then I've given them new life to be around for a long , long time too ....any comments are welcomed .............MB
