Wonderful Waterfall Edge Bench Set from the Pin Oak Allee

Fine furniture is something to treasure for your lifetime and pass along to the next generation. Tonight you have the rare opportunity to take home a piece of the Preserve with these two, handcrafted, waterfall, live edge benches from the wood of over 100-year-old oaks in the Pin Oak Allee at the Testimonial Gateway. Measuring 17 inches high, 25 inches wide, 11 inches deep and one and one half inches thick, these sturdy benches combine rustic authenticity with a modern aesthetic and are finished with a UV resistant TotalBoat Gleam Marine Spar Varnish. The benches are suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

These lovingly produced benches are the work of Leonard Hofer, a local woodworker, cabinet maker and father of five who is a member of the Bruderhof Community in Rifton. His most notable accomplishment, aside from the toys he makes for his kids, was a black walnut handcrafted chair created for Pope Francis.
