I whipped these up over the weekend. I just threw some 2x10 I had laying around on top to see what they would look like. It is only 4 feet long. The legs are the real project ignore the top. I am planning to start making 1 to 2 sets of these a week and maybe some without the removable brace. For use as a center leg on a longer bench. What does everyone think? I love them and hope I can find a home for a lot more of them. ![20201025_143044](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/a/ab1c0e15526994f0faadb1ca8e5a35b9cc92bd7b.jpeg) ![20201024_182641](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/d/d5f87e7bae0a6df73e2541902463ac79c3286693.jpeg) ![20201025_142903](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/9/90ab9609624a78d6a43bcdb35d9b4db5012e3e21.jpeg) ![20201025_145306](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/1/1dd04d6f9c683cf101c7e6655db47a79d3d6d0d0.jpeg) ![20201025_145947](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/7/7c36660cbf2fa58237e443d6f97c4fe905b5c9a3.jpeg) ![20201025_150117](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/bonsaimirai/original/2X/6/659bbc4b3006c82e7c012591b2869d510729883d.jpeg) ---

A a single wide two (or three) toned live edge plank would be lovely. Redwood stained. Heavy ployurethane finish. I see them for sale around here all the time. Think Nishima table… ---

This is how I originally invisioned the bench to look. Low visual impact but interesting if you look. Also lightweight and incredibly strong. Outside of my labor which was about 8 hours for this one. I did alot of head scratching. The material cost was quite low. 40 dollars in rebar and 25 dollars in lumber. Plus a handful of hardware I had lying around. A more fancy top or a different length, width I’m sure could be even better to look at. I see alot of people struggle to build themselves a nice bench to display there wonderful trees. After all not all bonsai artists are carpenters. I thought maybe I could solve that problem with a reasonably priced attractive set of legs anyone could put a top on and make there own. I dream of making a living through bonsai. I don’t see myself as an incredibly talented bonsai artist. I am developing hundreds of pieces of material collected and nursery stock. At the same time trying to find other empty places in the bonsai supply chain I may be able to fill. ---

I am always looking for ways to create tables for my plants. I had a frame made from metal pipe with cedar planks on top. Your frames are much more attractive. ---

Thanks Farmergirl. I had thought about using round stock but I like the rough look of the rebar. It is almost like bark.
