An old bench revived

One of my great grandfathers was W.P. Stephens. The above right image is a late 1940's picture with him and my great grandmother, Nanny. A bench in the background is one he had made @ his shop on the square. I remember this bench as it made it's way to several porches over the years. I remember painting it several times. It sat outside for too many years and needed a good bit of woodworking to be salvaged. The bench slats had to be replaced and the legs reworked. I ended up taking it down to bare wood. I did so last week and gave it new life. We should get many more years of good sits out of it and, hopefully, someone will want to take it over someday.
