Burmease Teak Glider

Project by mike posted 831 days ago 779 views 0 times favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

One year in the making – hard to believe.

My wife wanted a glider for the front porch so I took a basic garden bench and added a glider base.

Wood is Burmease Teak

All joint are mortise and tenon. Each is pegged for strength and all holes are plugged
with plugs cut from matching teak.

Finish is 4 coats of China Oil.

Enjoy and thanks for looking

Mike

You have done very well my friend.

Mike, this is evidence of real craftsmanship. A year is a long time, but not for a project like this if you are working on an occasional basis.

This, like your mirror frame, shows real attention to detail and very clean precise joinery.

Thanks.

The bench is something that I would like to make one day, I like the wood that you used a very strong project.

Great project! I like how sturdy it appears to be. Wood choice is also not too shabby.
