🔥Relisted by Request GRAND CHAMPION LIVE EDGE BENCH – BUILT BY JOHN G

RE-LISTED BY REQUEST – 

This handcrafted live edge bench was originally won as the companion to Lot 47 – the Grand Champion Shadowbox Table, both created by FFA student John Graybiel. The winning bidder, located in New York, later realized the significant cost and logistics involved in packing and shipping both large items. After covering storage fees for the past two months, they’ve asked us to relist both lots on their behalf.

Now’s your chance to snag this stunning bench—whether on its own or paired back up with the table. Don’t miss this second shot at functional, award-winning craftsmanship.

🔥 GRAND CHAMPION LIVE EDGE BENCH – BUILT BY JOHN GRAYBIEL
Matching Bench to Table Lot #16 | 100% American Craft Brilliance

NOTE: Last Pics show this bench with the table ( lot 16). This is for the bench only. Table is being auctioned at lot 47

You already know the story—Lot 16 is the table that broke the internet (or at least got Doug salivating over crab legs). This bench? It’s the sidekick with main character energy.

Same custom design. Same black walnut glory. Same powder-coated base built tougher than most steel shops are dreaming of.

Bench Specs:

• 72” long

• Width ranges from 19” at the ends to 25” at the center

• 19.5” tall

• Solid 2.5” thick slab

• Rubio Monocoat finish for that "I wanna touch it again" look and feel

• Matching geometric steel base with welded and bolted adjustable feet

💥 BUILT BY JOHN GRAYBIEL
Same dude. Same grind.

• FFA Ag Mech Supervised Project

• Every weld, every slab, every ounce of pride

• Straight A’s (except one B- in Quantum Magnetic Resolution Mechanics — we’re calling that a flex)

🏆 THE KID’S A LEGEND

• 1st in class at The TEXAS State Fair

• Grand Champion at the Lewisville FFA Show & Sale

• And he doesn’t just build — he finishes

💸 THE REALITY CHECK
Want this built new by a custom artisan? You’re shelling out $3,000–$4,500 and that’s if they even return your call.
This isn’t Etsy. This is precision shop-meets-showroom-caliber badassery.

🦀 WHY HE’S SELLING
Because crab legs. No, seriously.
Doug and John got a trade deal going, and the crab leg exchange rate is wild.
Alaskan King. Butter on tap. This bench is funding seafood and the next masterpiece.

🔥 DO THE RIGHT THING
This isn’t just a bench.
It’s a front-row seat to the future of American craftsmanship.
Buy it for the art. Buy it for the hustle. Hell, buy it just to say you did.
