Teak bench for a shower room






I made this bench from reclaimed teak I procured in Thailand. The wood for this bench was originally used by rice farmers in Thailand in the field. The original shape was slightly curved, and very rough, I cut it, then milled it so it was flat, and glued up the pieces to form the top and leg "slabs".
This client requested a bench that would withstand repeated exposure to water as it would reside INSIDE her shower enclosure which is large.
Teak was the natural choice as it has natural oils which repel water.
