Carved from single pieces of wood (I’m not sure which type of wood, but I don’t think it really matters), these huge hands support a wooden bench upon which even a King would be proud to perch his posterior. Potentially meant to inspire a feeling of being supported by Mother Earth (suitably, since somebody has had to kill quite a lot of tree to make it), this bench is without a doubt one of the most fascinating pieces of garden furniture I’ve seen. It’s sad to think that it is placed in a public place, where vandals will no doubt desecrate it; it should be immediately purchased by an investor and put it amongst a copse of trees in a classy park. Everybody knows vandals hate thickets.

Although some may question the point of it, I like this piece of garden furniture. Sure the oversized supports may obscure your view of the surrounding scenery, but this is about as close as you’re ever going to get to the feeling of being at God’s right (or left) hand. Perhaps they come alive at night and protect otherwise feckless tramps…
