Aldo Leopold Bench

#knoydart #life

“There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot. These essays are the delights and dilemmas of one who cannot.” – Aldo Leopold

Using up some more of the re-cycled fence boards this afternoon. It’s all Larch and still in reasonable nick after 14 years…

So I made this 36” wide ‘Aldo Leopold’ bench. It’ll head out onto the hillock under the ‘BIG’ Sycamore and provide a great look-out over the loch to the mountains. And, will provide a reason for my mum to go sit, read, drink tea etc when the sun shines or the weather is suitable.

Painted with some OSMO paint that we also use on the window frames of the house.
