It’s a great place to hang out with a 2 beverage, but the low square footage is easily overwhelmed by a traditional garden table and four chairs. My solution to this problem was to develop a design for a small table and four bench seats that could be arranged in different seating configurations or moved out of the way completely if necessary. They also func- tion nicely as side tables for lawn chairs and are sturdy enough to stand on to retrieve the cat from lower tree branches. I chose to use teak for the tops and wenge for the frames and legs. The wenge was an experiment. It’s a durable tropical hardwood and, when oiled, provides a striking contrast to the lighter teak. I made all four benches as a single production run. This not only made the construction process faster and more efficient but also ensured that component sizing and dimensions were exactly the same for all of the benches. Although the measurements are dif- ferent, I also made the table part of the production run, utilizing the same machine setups for the different steps.
