Reclaimed Bench

Mix found pieces to create unique furniture and accessories. Gary built this bench in the entry as a birthday gift for Cathy out of the remnants of reclaimed wood beams and wrought iron antique fence material. “It was all just scrap stuff most people would throw away,” Gary says. “I just don’t throw anything away.” He also used antique wood to frame views of Black Lake photographed at Cathy’s mother’s home in North Louisiana.
