I believe your a real wood worker! The hand made bench fits the church well. I'll bet those pews keep folks sitting straight up and awake!

Pews actually sit pretty well. They look simple, but they are angled correctly and are a comfortable height. Some are better than others depending on how level, or sturdy they might be.
Most discomfort in church is related to how bad the preacher is stepping on one's toes, more than the comfort of the benches.

If we're going to talk church a minute, I prefer one where they minister to needs of the people, not preach "thou shall" and "thou shalt not". And, that may refer to what Seedtick was thinking.

O Boy I have swung one of those Brush Axes a lot of times. It's the one tool that will take down a Cabbage Palm. If you want to snack on the cabbage heart it will chop it out in a couple of strokes. That's the only way to get rid of a cabbage palm and enjoy the rewards of your work.
Palmettos chop along the base and they will roll out of the way with the last swing of the axe.
I still have a Brush Axe out in the shop and it has to be pretty old. As a kid I thought it was a mid evil weapon of some sort. later in the middle 50's I found out what it was for when dad had me clean out some underbrush with it. Years later I cleaned out 3 acres to put a mobile home in under some huge oaks when I got back from the military.
It is my favorite chopping tool for getting a job done.

Looks and sounds too much like work to me. But, I do admire you rubbing in that linseed oil into those handles.
Brush axes are very efficient tools for cutting bushes and even sapling size trees. Safer than a power saw or regular axe.
My Dad referred to them as "ditch bank knifes". The two pictured are the smaller size and were made recently. They had round handles that would twist in your hand. I made the new ones flat like the older models.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the proper name for the "bush axe" is Kaiser Blade. Doc.
Jack, my son says I'm pathetic with the grandkids and I say I'm, but enjoying every minute of it.
My two have outgrown kids chairs so this one goes to an acquaintance's new born who will have to grow into it. It won't take long the way time flies.

Just add long legs and a tray to make a high chair.
Then, shorten the legs just a bit for a juniour chair for a 4-12 year old.
Then shorten the legs a bit more for a young adult.
Then shorten back to original length for that kid's kid.
Then attach wheels for you to use it as a wheel chair.
