The tops in this set are made from a twin stem red oak that weakened prematurely in the middle and was felled partly by wind, partly by chainsaw, a short distance from Pleasant Lake.  It had been a beautiful yard tree that made me nervous to put on the sawmill.  Yard trees are notorious for too often containing blade-dulling nails, wire, railroad spikes, and even sometimes insulators from power lines.  Fortunately, there were only a few small nails buried in the end log, maybe for hanging a clothesline years ago.  The legs that support both benches are made from pincherry that was growing in the woods where we live.  The small bench is made to slide up to the end of the bigger bench to make two steps.  
Finished with a hand-rubbed mix of turpentine and linseed oil.
