This bench was also for sale at the Farmers Market last week. It is partly ashes from when Mt. St Helens erupted back on May 18, 1980. I think it would look lovely in a garden setting and good for a short rest but not very comfortable to sit longer.

Can be mistaken as a wood too. Yeah, i guess not good for long sitting... but nice and magnificently done.
I talked to the man who made it at Saturday market -- it is definitely stone.
I also was thinking of wood at the first sight. It must be because of the color. It's strange to imagine that it is made with ashes, with something that is a memory of a natural catastrophe. But it's also true that it would find a place in a garden.
A nice artistic bench that would do for a respite from gardening.
That is one I would not be able to match around here - we nave no volcanoes in mainland Norway!
Very interesting and I would have loved to try it. I hope you bought it :-)
This is beautiful and would also make a very interesting coffee table!
I'm a bit late today with my bench post - it's up now.
Oh what a fabulous bench! And with a LOT of history....what a conversation starter!!
