With 2x8 sides, you keep the proportions and good looks. Thanks Oops! meant that the back rest cold be a few 2x4s spaced. With 2×8 sides, you keep the proportions and good looks. Thanks

I would recommend however that the sides be at least 2x8 and the seat 2x10. The back rest can be 2x6 spaced. Make certain that the angle cuts are 60 degrees; that makes it more stable. Great bench, great fun, nice looking and above all comfortable. Everyone should have two or three of varied lengths. actually, you can use what you have, made one in a couple of hours with scrap stuff.

The <b>Aldo Leopold Bench</b> can be built with 2 @ 8 foot long 2" x 10". If you view the plan, you will see that the bench seat is 30" wide, the bench back is 33" (ripped down to a 2" x 6" dimension). The 2 long sides are 33" long and the 2 short sides are 18" long. Laid out properly, this would amount to less that 2 @ 8'. Good luck with your Aldo Leopold bench. A great, and simple, bench project. www.WoodworkCity.com Gale,
