A great design. I’ve made three of them with a little different design. I do like the cup holders.

Hi, Rod -
Nice design…I like the smooth curve at the edge of the seat. How does poplar hold up outside? Any extra finishing necessary?

The swing is on a covered screened in porch. So the swing is not in direct contact with the weather. Only used a pickle stain and the swing has held of fine. I just round all four edge of each slate on my router table with a round over bit. The end edges are a little tricky. I camped them to the edge of a wide board and had a lot more control. Kind of like a coping sled. Just make sure you do the cross grain ends first. Hope this helps
