Convertible Bench/Picnic Table
by the Morton High School
Production Carpentry Class 

Students in Chad McFarland’s 7th hour production carpentry class created this one of a kind picnic table. The class consists of 16 sophomores, juniors, and seniors who spent a combined 175 man hours on the project. Inspiration for the project was found online, but the team made several upgrades to the original plans to make the project more appealing.

Bench and table top are made out of cedar that was planed and joined to form solid slabs. Once completed the top was finished with spar polyurethane. The bench base is made out of green treated pine stained with an australian timber oil in Jarrah Brown. Accessories included: Picnic Quilt and Fall Pillows by: Nicole Friend. Quilt is approximately 72in x 72in. Pillows are 12in x 16in.
