And finnaly the fourth bench, unfinished because it still needs stain and varnish, but all the wood work is done.
It?s an hybrid of vertical and horizontal planks, as seen from above.
This one was the most difficult to build, but I think the result is nice.

Sorry for the plastic pots, folks, many trees are still in ttraining.
I will repot 15 or 20 next spring, so the whole setup will look nicer.
Thanks for the comments!

Posted 2 years 6 months ago #76792Already done, but I use a mixture of linseed oil and turpentine, a tric from my grandfather, works great, but only to use outdoors.Nice work Frank - get some teak oil on that wood though!

Very cool place Clicio! I see you're investing on some new raintrees there! Same here, I'm loving it.
We had a few frost nights already here on South (~3?C) and some BRTs are on under the porch, some don't, but they're quite well so far, I love the little greenhouse tho. First winter with them.
Got any Dumosum/Tenuiflorum variaty? I managed to get some seeds but they're a bit harder to germinate when compaired to Tortum.
Got 3 of them from last spring, and I'm kind of liking it more than the Tortum... , still have 10 more seeds to try again this year, planning to have one on the ground as a future source of seeds

Thanks, @Albas
Yes, I had a good one (Tenuiflorum) but I gave it away to a friend. Now I got a sapling and will train it next year.
Thanks for the input!

That's a superb finish on that stained/varnished bench - what a lovely warm colour!I messed up a bit on the spacing of the slats on my homemade benches - the gaps rather dictate how far forward / back my pots have to go, also the angle that they are presented at. I may get around to modifying them sometime this summer. .I do like the poles that you have some of your collection on - this one looks like you can even practice your martial arts whilst trimming your bonsai...
