Upcycled Driftwood & Rescued Wood Log Benches
I've created several of these unique driftwood benches which can be coated with either a marine spar varnish or an outdoor water based poly, both outdoor finishes containing UV inhibitors, so they can be perfect for the garden or patio. Every bench is different in look and approach as no one piece of driftwood is ever alike. They are created using rescued woods, which come from saving dead trees people cut down and driftwood from flood debris. I don't like to create just straight legged log benches that you always see, so I search out for wood with character and curves. For example, on the first one I ever created (one of the benches pictured), I found an interesting twisting and branching piece of driftwood that took me a minute to visualize, but I was able to get 4 supports and a small backrest all from that one piece. I can do all sorts of designs and am open to any ideas you may have. Please be sure to give any relevant info when inquiring such as desired length/width and depth of bench seat, desired seat height, back rest, if you have a specific budget and timeline. Let me know your idea and I'll create you a custom one of a kind bench! Thanks for browsing!

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Missouri Nature Art specializes in creating unique furniture and home decor using natural or "live edge" wood and driftwood. We have many items we create on a regular basis, but we really enjoy bringing custom ideas to life!
We love working with beautiful lesser known woods that have a ton of character. All of our wood is either rescued, found, or reclaimed/salvaged from Missouri, although we don't mind branching out into other North American woods for certain projects.
Our hallmarks are great customer service and quality to last a life time. Thanks for browsing our shop!

For Natural Edge Frames Created From Red Cedar Driftwood4.7Exactly what I asked for. Totally custom job -- smaller size and easel back for display on a shelf. Even included plexiglass and extra push points to secure the easel back. Peeled the protective plastic off the plexiglass, trimmed the photo, placed it behind the plexiglass, inserted the easel back, secured with the push points, and sealed the rear edges with framing tape to keep out dust. Perfect frame for a photo of a primitive rock painting.

For Natural Edge Frames Created From Driftwood & Hollow Logs5.0I asked for a barn wood frame for a print I bought for my husband. It turned out SO good and we get compliments on the picture AND frame all the time. It's become a focus point in our living room and we love it. Thank you!!
