Benched

The bench ends in the pics below have been in the family a long time.  My mother remembers them on the family farm in the 1930's, and it's possible the family had them in the Chicago years as well, in the 1910's or 1920's.  There are two sets of ends, I just restored one of the benches by getting new wood, staining it the same as the house, and stripping and then repainting the ends.  The ends are concrete, each one weights close to 100 pounds.
