Wondering who made the bench swings featured in the April, 2012 issue of Our State Magazine?

RAGS Signs and Graphics designed and built the bench swings for the Kure Beach Oceanfront Park.  While RAGS is known for their sandblasted signs in the Wilmington, NC area, they also have a large collection of custom projects that show their fine artistic craftsmanship.

The bench swings, swing-back benches, signs and even the trash receptacles were designed by Ruth Arnold and built by her and the crew at RAGS.  They even designed and made the corian fish used for the park fundraising efforts!  The swings and benches are all built with the quality and attention to detail that Ruth and RAGS are known for, and will be a wonderful feature at the OceanFront Park for the enjoyment of generations to come.

Come on down to Kure Beach for the dedication of the OceanFront Park on Friday, April 26th and enjoy the view and the fresh salt air while relaxing on a bench swing.

5 Things every North Carolinan Should Do This Month

from the April, 2013 Our State Magazine

 

This versatile bench style table is built from the heart pine seat back of  a 1965  Barbour boat.  The legs and struts are reclaimed redwood, with cypress trim and 2″ brass repurposed footrail accent.

We created a pair of these teak and cedar end tables from the hatch covers of a 1975 Pearson sailboat.  Finished with a high gloss resin for a beautiful shine and strength to withstand any day to day use.  For sale separately or as a pair.

This table was built using the catboat rigged bow deck of a 1965 Bobbin dinghy, originally made in Sussex, England.  The legs are reclaimed 2″ brass bar footrails.

We built this pedestal style block top table using the end grain from two white pine posts.  The top is 3″ thick, assembled butcher block style and finished with a thick layer of epoxy for strength and to highlight the unique look of the wood.  Trim is reclaimed cypress, legs are pine with cedar feet.
