I built this swing at the beginning of last summer. It is made out of reclaimed Redwood barrel staves. It was probably one of the quicker and easier projects I have done from scratch. I was happy with how it turned out. We didn’t have any place to hang it so I just build a frame out of douglas fir and stained it as close as I could to match the redwood. Any comments are welcome. | |||||||

Looks real nice and very comfortable. I am sure there will be many appreciative riders in the days ahead.

Thank you, I actually do not have any plans. The hardest part was just the seat, how to create the curve. A friend of mine made one just prior to mine and I basically mimicked the pattern. The back was at an angle off that felt comfortable.
The slats are all 1” thick by 1 5/8” wide with a roundover on all sides.
I did a little research online and combined a few different patterns online. The only change I would make is to raise the arm rest a few inches.
