Re: Get swinging!
Made the Mk II a while back but took me ages to finish! Sort of lost momentum with it and to be honest was a pain using natural wood as the frame.
Done now but quite a long fiddly job - not sure I'd make another.....! This one out of walnut. Stainless steel chain and fittings. Very poor quality pics (iphone  ) but gives the idea.

Re: Get swinging!
That is lovely Rob, even has a sense of movement in the frame.

Re: Get swinging!
Thanks gents - it's on display in a little known seller of teak garden furniture!
Am not looking forward to delivering it if it sells.
