I received a message that said the group behind the development of the community grief garden-journey of life garden want to install 5 posts and the 'rest, reflect, renew' bench seat next week. That means I needed to have the bench seat finished this weekend. Yesterday afternoon was dedicated to glueing and screwing the bits together as you can see from the photos below.
Today was all about routing the words "rest - reflect - renew" into the front edge of the bench. I got up to the stage of inking the routed words as you can see in the opening photo. A light sand tomorrow to get rid of excess ink stain and the seat is ready for pick up and installation.
Fiona prepared a template of the words for me to copy onto the timber and then rout. Photos of the words, carbon paper etc follow.
And then it was on to the routing - not a professional job - still I think the slightly freehand look might add to the experience of those using the seat. Pretty cute ink pot???

my eyes moved easily over the words at the outset ... the "slightly freehand" aspect not apparent until you pointed it out ... how we are our own toughest critics at times ... and yes, love your ink pot
