Here's a before and after pic of a similar piece of wood which is carved into a "Sliding Deadman" and holes drilled.
Also some coated screws for the long stretchers to attached to the bench legs.

What are your bolts and washers coated in? And, is that to prevent rust?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThose nuts and washers are coated with a thin layer of shellac (locally available) by diluting it with 50%-50% thinner. Yes, the coating is meant for rust prevention due to the high humidity and wet tropical climate here in Malaysia.
