With the winds howling and the water muddied up it gave me time to replace the old bench I had on my dock that became really rotted.

In this position you can socialize with others on the other bench.

But when you want to fish, just flip the backrest to the other direction and you are facing the water ready to pull in fish.

That's a nice bench Tom. Reminds me of the flip type icechest seats in a boat.Looks real good on your deck.

I like working with wood also but I enjoy whittling. I just finished a redfish
I'll have to post a pic...

that flip back bench will be useful to also remind guests in the other seat when it's time for them to go home, too. Very Happy

Very nice workmanship. All I need is one high tide and one strong..and...very unusual current to bring this bench home to daddy!!

All kidding aside, very nice work. Thanks for sharing!
