We built this small cabin, we all with my late father and now serves as gathering place where my sister, mother and our closest ones meet every Saturday to have nice picnic and time together.

I had an idea to make something similar for fev years now. Since i saw for the first time in some shop while on vacation. It was egg shaped, threaded on small stand hang on the chain. It was made from metal lines welded together.
I really like the concept and i was thinking how to make something in this direction but from wood since I'm woodworker.

Idea was good but putting it into reality was something else. I like challenges but this one didn't justify the end result
Fev years has passed and i almost forgot about the project until i was post on some FB page where the guy made something similar (similar C shaped frame) than the light bulb went on)

I'm happy to give credit but after searching for that picture or author for quite some time i couldn't find it. So of everyone one knows something about it, maybe my fellow County man let me know and I'll credit him.


Ok so I made a template and I use it for everything what you see.
This is done form larch wood which is ideal for outside use.
I use regular clamps and slow drying glue so i had enough time to clamp everything up.

The sit pieces are located on whole length of the frame because i thought in summer nights one can put a blanket over it and it will serve as a private, quiet place.
This wooden swing is very strong, Surprisingly strong and it can hold 2 adults (tested) and CRAZY comfortable to. Specially when pillows were added.

No need to add that everyone waned to lay on it and relax :)
Dont't miss the clever /hook,mounting thingy that i made, do you find it interesting ?
