Fireside Lodge Cedar Half-Log Dining Bench

Yes, Northern White Cedar is naturally resistant to decay, making it a durable choice for outdoor use. However, to maintain the finish and longevity of the wood, we recommend placing it in a covered area or applying a protective exterior sealant if it will be exposed to direct elements.

No, the bench arrives fully assembled and ready for use. It is constructed with mortise-tenon joinery, which provides structural integrity right out of the box.

Because each bench is handcrafted from natural, hand-peeled logs, the dimensions may vary slightly from the listed 42-inch width. This variation is a standard characteristic of the rustic, hand-hewn construction process.

The bench is finished with a clear-coat catalyzed lacquer that protects the wood. You can keep it clean by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the lacquer.

The logs are hand-peeled to preserve their natural character and shaped using a custom tenonizer. This process ensures that no two benches are exactly alike, highlighting the organic beauty of the Northern White Cedar.
