Description
Harry (Goodoleboy) and Denise (MrsRatbag). This Koi bench was carved by Norman Radin from a single log of Black Walnut. The 9 foot (2.74 meters) long and 800 pound (362.9kg or 57.14 stone) log was brought to Delray Beach, Florida from the Appalachian Mountains. The bench sits in the Pineapple Grove artist community area and without a back plus more or less round, not that comfortable. Taken last Saturday. OK to zoom.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

LOL @ Mike! Wow, Dana, that's a big fish! Excellent art, but you're right, that doesn't look too comfortable. Thanks for the dedi!

Nice of you to dedicate this for my honey, she does like those benches, when she was here with me, we could hardly go three feet without Dee capturing EVERY bench along the route LOL!... Very ornate thing here Dana, don't look too comfy though.

I think it would look nicer sitting next to a lake or stream. The perfect bench for a fishermen! ;) Excellent capture Dana! :)

Great find!

Actually 800 lb of black walnut is a highly likely candidate for theft.

It looks very uncomfortable but just right for tying your shoe laces,I agree with Whaleman Over here in the UK it's worth a lot of money.

I should think it's probably bearable if one sits astride it!

LOL@Mike.....We have a botanical garden that opens up every spring here in my home town and some artist with exceptional talent basically did the same thing with old logs as they are carved to resemble certain types of fish that are known to be in the surrounding lake.If my memory is correct there are at least 20 various types of carved benches around the entire garden in various locations.If health permits me this spring I'll attempt to snag a few pic's and share them here...Always enjoy your captures Dana!

OMG, what hath Norman Radin wrought? Great piece of work on the log, a labor of love without a doubt, Dana. But I don't know if it could pass for a koi, considering the lack of fins. As the previous commentors said, it doesn't look too comfortable, but it is a terrific conversation piece. And, finally, thanks for the dedication! This inspires me to post some more bench and koi pictures.
