We have always wanted a bar bench on the window ledge outside our kitchen window, more so I think for the look of it, but it also comes in handy as a servery from inside the kitchen to the patio outside.
Recently we thought we'd have a go at it, as we had some left-over merbau from the kitchen bench. We decided against using that though as we were worried if it got wet the tanin might run onto the tiles and stain them - it stained a little under the kitchen sink in the cabinet - and so we bought a pine bench.
After a rough start we finally got there in the end, although I imagine some people watching our build may think, "what are they doing!"
Below are a few photos explaining what we did at certain stages and also a video on our process.
I look at it every day thinking, wow we did that and it doesn't look too bad.😁😆
