Some of my bonsai benches. DIY, but good.

Here and below, the progression of my bonsai garden project with some of the benches I am making.
It´s a mix of natural poles, a small bench for seedlings made of old railroad wood sleepers, one simple bench over cement blocks, and two benches made o Cumaru, a very sturdy wood similar to Ipê.
Apart from that, a tiny greenhouse which is wintering some tropicals and seedings.
Enjoy, and show us yours!

First one almost ready:

Second one, for the seedlings:

Sorry, can´t post pictures anymore. Will try tomorrow to complete the progression.

Fantastic work - looks great! Got a couple of home made benches (but no decent pics) - however a lot of my trees are on tree stumps... Did make this pot store (old pic, now crammed full of pots!) out of two scrap crates from work. Total cost about ten quid for ironmongery and creosote. And yes - I am aware that it looks like an outdoor privy when the door's shut!

here some of mine, one build 3 years ago, the other last spring

Nice work Frank - get some teak oil on that wood though!

This is my simple setup. It has evolved sinze then into more of them and higher for better view:

looking great!

Well, let´s try again:


The little greenhouse (it works!)




And one of the raintrees inside for the winter:

Now the third bench, a simple one but handy as it can easily can be moved around, and some of the poles, from natural wood taken from fallen trees in my property:
