2×12 8' Long

Available at Home Depot

An 8 foot long 2×12 makes a sturdy bench. If you want a shorter bench, you can have one of the nice Home Depot employees cut down a 2×12 to your desired size.


Iron Bench Legs

Available at the HomeMade Modern Store

This set includes four 16” high legs and screws to make your bench. The legs are handmade in the USA from raw steel.


Yarn

Available at Lion Brand Yarns

We used 4 skeins of a super bulky weight yarn with a weight category of 6. We used the “starlight” color. If anyone has any suggestions for a more eco-friendly alternative, please email me. The cover was knit as a flat piece, using a circular needle and a “seed stitch”. It was seamed together so that you could slip it on and adjust it accordingly.


Danish Oil

Available at Amazon.com

I finished the bench with a coat of Danish oil.
