The Pennsylvania Wilds is about authenticity, great people, the enduring quality of nature, and the timeless appeal of handmade works of art. These are the same characteristics that I incorporate into my work. I want people to feel drawn to this bench because of its rustic nature and the intricate inlay work, and once they’ve gotten there, I want them to sit down and really spend quality time with each other. This bench will comfortably sit two people and is made from locally harvested hardwoods, using traditional joinery techniques. It would make a great addition to any home, camp or office, where you want to feature a unique piece of Pennsylvania Wilds inspired furniture. Bucky Green Pennsylvania Wilds Juried Artisan
