Our Guestbook Bench!

Our Guestbook Bench!

September 9th, 2009 @ 3:54 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

You will remember from this post that we really wanted a unique guest book. When I saw a bench used for another wedding, I knew that I wanted to go that route.

(image source)

Mr. AC and I are incredibly lucky, as our friend is an amazing wood worker (he owns Hill Country Woodworks) and he very generously made us a bench to use as our guestbook. I am over the moon excited. Not only to have a bench, but to have something made impeccably by a talented woodworker to put in our home is priceless!

We will use special pens for our guests to sign the bench with, and then our friend Will will seal the signatures.

Will makes other incredible pieces. They are all custom and amazing.

(I love that this table expands. The details are awesome!)

Will Bucher is always open to custom projects. You can reach him at Hill Country Woodworks at 919-929-2075.

Do you have a unique idea for your guestbook? What will it be like?

So awesome! What a great way to include all your guests into your home! YAY!
We are having a poster for people to thumb print. Their thumb prints will essentially be the leaves of a tree when all is said and done. I am super excited about this find. I wish I could remember where I found it, but it’s just escapes me at the moment…

That is such an awesome idea. I’m going to show this to my father in the morning– he does woodworking and would love it.

I remember seeing the first post for this and thinking how amazing it was. We actually put our own spin on it and are going to make a cedar hope chest and have our guests sign it.
Thanks for the great idea, and I absolutely love the bench!

Yes, I love to go hunting for cool home ideas. This is a great idea for getting your friends to celebrate your home with you. we actually have a “signature wall” all our friends get to sign.

It may also give the military authority the power to act in place of civilian authorities, if a decree specifies it explicitly. ,
