This plan came from Handy Magazine. It was a 48 inch wide bench made from pine. I widened the bench to 60 inches, thickened the slats about 1/8 inch thicker, made from Sassafras and the frame is from red oak and black walnut. It was sanded, then a coat of primer, then sanded, then another coat of primer, then two finish coats. It is a very comfortable and solid bench.

No, all the same swing. The white is the primer coatings. I might make another one after seeing how this design holds up for a year or so. There are other designs that look better to me that I stumbled onto after I started building this one. My next project will be a few outdoor benchs to be set around the yard in different places.
