Stone Bench


I've climbed many a rock pile at nurseries, in Oneonta, etc. and have always noticed and pulled out interesting stone that caught my eye. Lots of times, I'll notice big, 2" thick slabs that look perfect for bench seats. I've started to do some of these benches as part of my job projects.
The formula - Pour a footing for the pedistals. Mortar the pedistals using smaller stone. At the top of the pedistals, add an acrylic adhesive to the mortar and place the slab, level.
These benches fit in well in an informal garden setting, along a pathway, etc.
