Sculpture and Basalt Benches

What's cooking?
The outdoor cooking class display at the Yard Garden Patio Show. 
 Sponsored by Mutual Materials and installed by JP Stone Contractors,  Peter Andrusko's paired 9 foot tall basalt columns took it over the top with 3 additional feet of flames emerging from them.

They were impressive, but what I lusted for were the stone benches.
This basalt column was as nature left it,except for having the surface planed to a perfect horizontal.
 I want it in my garden, all ???? tons of it.
Rustic or Majestic? This 8 foot bench basalt column and slab bench is both.

I can just see that bench in your garden!! How in the world did they even get it there? It is fabulous though!

I gripe about how heavy (200+ pounds) the cast stone st Francis is... We're talking dozens of tons with columnar basalt. Major fork lifts and you don't want to be anywhere IN the vicinity!
