I finally got around to finishing this cedar bench for the lake house, along with a custom engraved memorial plaque for Aunt Sandy.
The old bench up there had definitely seen its last days, and while working on this one I asked Grandma Lewis last year if it was okay to replace it. I remember Aunt Sandy always sitting in that area relaxing and hanging out, so I thought this would be a meaningful way to honor both her and that special spot by the lake.
I wanted to keep it simple, respectful, and something that would blend naturally into the lake house while still carrying meaning behind it. Seeing it all come together honestly meant a lot to me, and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
