I've sold 15 customized benches this spring. I've had to learn to let my gardening habit support my gardening habit so I don't go broke gardening.

Good for you! That's the way to do it. Too bad they can't be mailed!

I think they can but the freight would be atrocious. Might be cheaper to just come pick it up. I think your only about 4 hours away and you probably need a vacation anyhow. 😇

Yes, freight is usually out of sight. Where are you located?

I stained my name on it with Ebony and now it's ready to be sealed. Never seal it if it's even slightly damp. You don't want to seal any moisture in or it will freeze in the winter and flake or crack your concrete.

BEAUTIFUL

I'm putting the high gloss acrylic sealant on it. This is the brush I'm using and I sweep it in the same direction as the color grain and when this is dry I will apply a second coat.

I love the detailed - - - the color really makes it pop!

This bench I stained to look like sand stone with light marbling.

WOW - It's beautiful

Why are my pictures turning into weird pictures.

What are seeing weird???

They look great to me. Maye refresh your browser?

The other pages used to be pine apple and the state of Florida. Now it's the right pic.

The pictures are not off center... It's just the angle of the pic.

And now it's sealed with high gloss.
Your other choice is to do a matte finish which will leave no sheen and look like the previous picture.

Having fun with the color turquoise. This one has a matte finish.

Beautiful!

Lol. Kind of looks like a paper plate. But a very cute one.

It looks so smooth. Hope you don't mind me asking but how are you achieving that smoothness and What type and brand of concrete are you using for your concrete projects?
thank you in advance. The benches are beautiful.
