intends something as
Is the following right?
He intended his remark as a praise.
Or similarly:
He intended the cap as a gift.
The following is another case, however I have no other idea also in this case than inserting “as” like this:
He intended the trunk as a bench. – The intended meaning is: He wanted for the trunk to be carved into a bench.
Or should I say: He intended the trunk to be a bench.
He intended his remark as a praise.

He intended the cap as a gift.
