I knocked up this bench seat out of some excess 140x18 hardwood decking, ripped down to 70x18 and bolted together with threaded rod. The table whilst looking like tounge and groove is actually marine ply, routered with a home made jig @ 100mm spacing to look like tounge and groove. The border is Merbau, mitered, rebated then biscuit jointed and laminated to the ply. All covered with a self leveling two pot epxoy " Glass coat" finish for outdoor durability.
Not quite in the same league as Archers work,( love the dovetailing on the chest), but working off two saw horses on gravel with hand power tools in the sun means making allowances
