Bench

A while back I saw a couple on a park bench communicating to each other in a very emotional manner. This got me thinking how many lives have been altered, changed or distrupted by conversations or other interactions on park benches. I'll be hunting down a few more park benches, and snapping them. I'd like to put them into a book format with either a blank page next to the image so the reader could make up their own story of what may of gone on, on that bench or I could have a go at creating the stories.
I'll work on it.
This bench is on the main street of Geraldine, a great town full of excellent local food and beverage manufacturing.

New Bench

I whipped up this garden bench a few weeks back from the remnants of my once proud micro forest of native trees, that were sacrificed as part of a house de-dampening scheme. There are also a few bits of driftwood. Most of the timber is Lacebark which is fast growing and can get out of control in the blink of an eye. The grain, colour and hardness of the wood has been a very pleasant surprise. It is light blonde and has a very pronounced 'ray pattern' similar to quarter sawn oak. I'm also looking into making jewellery and small sculptures with it.

Wording

Just down the road from this sign is 'Smart Street'.
