Knickerbocker Bench Auction

The Knickerbocker Bench is a custom made bench of black locust, a wood legendary for lasting decades without chemical preservatives. Designed and produced by Palisades Interstate Park Commission Development Specialist Timothy Englert, two of these handsome, hand-crafted benches (a bookmatched pair), each 8 to 12 feet long, are being offered in separate eBay charity auctions, with proceeds benefitting the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference and the Grand Walkabout, a four-county Hudson Valley effort to provide people with information and encouragement to hike the many beautiful trails found in our region. These are only the second set of benches to be offered to the public, and will be custom made to suit the winner's site needs.
