We delivered the bench.

On 12-14-17 we finished up the bench and clear coated it.

On 12-13-17 we got the main components of the bench together and decided if we should clear coated it.  We ended up choosing to clear coat it with one coat rather than 3 coats of stain because the redwood looked good as it was and we didn't have enough time for 3 coats.

On 12-12-17 as you can see we spent a long time taking the pieces that we had cut out and started to apply glue and screw to hold the pieces together.   

On 12-11-17 we got right to work and started cutting pieces of leftover wood to start building the bench.
