Could be blockier.. :3

But nice work man! Must have taken quite a decent effort. Was it all you or did you have some help on like, the painting and stuff?

Any chances you'd upload 'schematics' of that bench? I always wanted to take a shot at woodcrafting and this bench would look interesting in my garden.

that's probably 40 hours labor from start to finish.

not too-too bad honestly.

softer wood or better power wood carving bits would have helped but eh, you make do.

I would probably charge a grand for somethign like this if someone commissioned it.

if i was painting it only, not carving, probably 500.

The one problem with it, is that it looks far too nice to sit on. Nice job.
