Sorry to be so long getting back folks, but some medical issues have had me down for a while. Hope to get back to work soon.

Yes, what you see is all sculpted cement. Neat Portland paste on the surface, concrete & mortar over a welded steel frame underneath. This particular bench is 9 1/2 feet long and weighs around 1000 pounds.

Truly an optical illusion. Great work of art
