Hi Tiziano, as always, a feast for the eyes. I have a question about the barrels: how exactly do you make them? Perhaps you could find some pictures of the process?

Ciao Tiziano, come sempre, una gioia per gli occhi. Ho una domanda sulle botti: come le realizzi esattamente? Potresti trovare qualche foto del processo?

Thanks

Awesome! Very creative, unique and detailed piece of deck furniture.

They look completely functional. Almost as if the gunsmith or carpenter could actually walk up and start work on these benches.

Thanks for sharing the photos of the different pieces and parts, so us mortals can picture the steps you took to construct it!
