Advice on building a pation bench?

I am looking to build a square patio with pavers, outlined by benches on 2 ends. What I would like to do is build a short pillar at each corner and use a cedar board as the seating surface (probably 2x12x12′). Looking to use pavers to create the pillar as well. This board would rest on the pillar but would still have an additional 2 pavers and a top cap.
I’m sure I will have to mortar, but how will that work with the wood? Should I seal the wood before? How large of a paver should I use for the pillars? Is a 12" board wide enough to sit on? Any other advice would be appreciated!

Hi there. I love to free hand paint and I would like to paint on plastic tables, chairs, benches, etc. patio furniture.

I know I should lightly sand the surface – making sure it is very clean – and prime. I know that much.

However, I want to paint a design with a paintbrush – not spray paint.

Anyone tried this? Which paint would I use and how can I make sure it will last?

thanks for any help folks!
