That’s a beautiful swing! Cedar sure makes a pretty piece of furniture.

Very nice looking.
Maybe it’s just because I am a “tub ‘O lard”, but the softness of cedar really makes me concerned that it won’t be strong enough…especially at the stess points where the bolts and chains connect. Swing with caution and inspect often!

That is a great looking swing and the plugged screwholes add a lot of class. There has to be a more attractive way to suspend these (other than galvanized chain) but I haven’t figured it out yet. Anyone tried that black coated cable to hang these? I see the connections being unsightly with the cable. Just threw this out hoping someone has an idea.

Thanks for all the looks and comments.
ohwoodye, to strenghten this swing i oversized the parts-the framemembers are a full 4” the slats are slightly over 3/4” the armrest and supports are 1” thick, there are 4 seat/back braces.
Andy , good point. i have wondered about a good quality rope but cable would last forever.

Great job on the swing. To me nothing is any better to work with than cedar. About all i ever make is using cedar. I love the colors, the finish product and I for one have never had any problems with using cedar except it can mess up your lungs if you aren’t careful.
