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

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.

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