A Seat in the Wild: Handcrafted Dorset Benches
Bring a Piece of the Dorset Landscape into Your Garden.
Our landscapes tell a story, and your garden furniture can do the same. We are incredibly proud to showcase this organic waney edge viewing bench, one of two unique styles commissioned by the Dorset Wildlife Trust to grace local nature reserves and blend seamlessly into wild, open vistas, as part of their memorial bench offering which can be seen at https://www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/memorial-benches
Handcrafted in our local workshop using sustainably sourced PEFC oak split Sweet. This bench is designed to highlight the raw geometry of natural timber. Left untreated to silver beautifully over time, it provides a deeply tactile, durable, and comfortable sanctuary to sit and observe nature.
Whether you want to bring this exact Trust approved look to your property, or collaborate on a completely custom configuration shaped around your own favourite view, we can help. Every commission is custom-built using time-tested joinery techniques to ensure your piece endures.
The waney edge oak viewing bench is one of two styles commissioned by the Dorset wildlife trust. The second has a more formal feel with a seat back, but retains the natural organic feel with waney edge back and seat.
