We recently bought another garden bench, complementing the older one with the back and armrests, though we did not necessarily lay them out side-by-side. It's made of exactly the same wood, apparently Dungon (Tarrietia sylvatica), a hardwood that resists rotting so it is suited perfectly for outdoor use. The wood is very tasty though to a particular wood-eating grub (right) that is responsible for the random yet artistic surface design once you cut the old wood up into planks.
Interesting post I enjoyed read this.
