Nic job on the bench. It may not be "fine" furniture, but the idea behind it is fine and the user should get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Isn't that the purpose of furniture after all? Using wood with a special history just adds to the piece. Great job!

Looks really nice. Hopefully he gets a lot of use out of it. I made a rustic project one time and tried to hide all of the fresh cuts where I could. In a couple cases where I couldn't hide them and they seemed to stand out to me, I just got some dirt and rubbed it on the fresh cuts to "age" them in an instant. Just a thought if you wanted to try it. If you were nervous and wanted to practice you could try it on a spare piece or the bottoms of the legs.

You can even recess the "T" nuts with a Forstner or spade bit so as to make them a touch less visible, and to fully engage all the threads |
