A wooden log seat. (Well it's not all I want for Christmas.. but it's a good start!)

I want a nice big chunky bench seat for next to the dam so I can sit and enjoy the view with a nice glass of red over the summer. Initially I wanted a wrought iron and timber bench seat similar to this......

But I have changed my mind (and as a female I am entitled to do that!). The dam can have a chunky log seat that I do not have to worry about... and I can get a nice wrought iron one for the house yard one day.

Hubby is out the back fashioning me a seat with a chainsaw as we speak!! I have no idea what sort of log seat I'm getting and I haven't even done my usual diagrams & build instructions.... Im pretty excited to see what he comes up with on his own! 

I wouldn't mind something like the following:


Sturdy, simple and could even be comfortable!



Wish I'd shown the hubby this before he headed out!




My expectations are really not that high! As long as the seat keeps me off the ground and is not too uncomfortable it will serve its purpose.

Based on the number of chainsaw cuts that I have been hearing... he could be building me a new house!! I really don't want to go outside yet and spoil the suprise. I want to wait until everything is finished. Pity the weather is no good for testing it!

Geese! That's what else I want for Christmas! Something to admire from my new wooden seat.....
