Nice.

jimmy the best

Looks fantastic, good work Jimmy! :)

sweet bench!

why do you want this tree removed? „he’s dead, Jim!“

What a "maker".

What a beautiful project. Really enjoyed watching this, Jimmy. Thanks for the great content. Truly stunning result.

Looks nice, I hope somebody uses those roots for something, firewood or something else.

Wow beautyfull, nice work.

Love it when I don't know where is the video going. For a moment I thought this will be a wall art. Then it clicked. The end result is absolutely great!

Gorgeous!!!

I really like the way you beveled the bark down to meet the bands. It almost looks like the banks are pinching the slabs holding them in place. Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing that with us.

Beauty 😊

The bark is going to be a problem. The bugs and bacteria live on the cambium layer, between the bark and the sap wood. It will be falling off in short order.

The wood is stunning and truly steals the show, but the proportions of the bench and the angles are so visually pleasing. Everything comes together beautifully!

Such a beautiful tree trunk was wasted on such crap...

I want that root ball!

do you varnish the live edge of the bark, or do any kind of treatment to it?

Die Bank sieht super aus!👍✌

Very nice

Stunning! Love seeing you get some hand plane action in on those slabs.

Amazing and inspiring work JD!!! Harnessing that tree in the perfect way😎

no voiceover needed!

It's one thing to uproot a dead tree and make a piece of functional art, but BRAVO to your visual storytelling of how you created that beautiful peice!

Great video. Gorgeous bench. Mahalo for sharing. ❤

Você foi minha inspiração cara ,aqui do Brazil obrigado Jimmy.

That word “beautiful” doesn’t keep coming up in the Comments for nothing. It IS. Please, keep it up.

Very very nice

Holy half-ton hernia, Batman! That bench will only need to be moved in order to put it back on the surface of whatever the legs sink into!

Dear Mr Diresta, Please stop making these insanely awesome projects and stop showing off your immense skill set. You make us look bad. Yours sincerely, All other men.

Beautiful piece- is that walnut. Anyone.

Thank you for keeping the y end in tact.❤

Jim, been a long-time admirer of your work! Your a true craftsman that I've learned so much from thank you

Bet that bench can stand the best of time.

Nice...real nice. What a great use for a couple of beautiful slabs. Thanks for sharing.

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones a modern stone age family! Fantastic Jimmy. It's all you bro. Cheers 🇨🇦

Hello Jimmy beautiful bench beautifully made good job well done

Amazing bench - you are very talented!

I sorry you had to cut up Rob for this, but that wood is too pretty to burn. 😁 It's a great looking bench! Thanks for sharing!

oof total boat totally ruined it :(

Nice couch.

Pretty awesome how you made those bolts that pins the metal sleeves to the slab. Thanks for sharing so much

Nice

I needs the DIRESTA seal of quality branded into the back.

Ok, that was awesome. I have to make one of those now. That look like a blast. Thanks again.

It's an artistic commentary on America's political and judicial system. If you stand in front of the bench, the person on the right gets all the back and leg support, whereas if you stand in the behind the bench, the person on the left gets all the back and leg support. 😂

Che spreco

Looks fantastic. Hope it gets place in the shade. Otherwise the first one to sit on the steel parts with shorts or light fabric will remember the bench for some time. :)

This video reminded me of the old days great video Jimmy

Awesome project!
