My dad's newest piece of handiwork!

 Dad finished Mom's Mother's Day present!!!  She's long desired a porch swing and Dad has finally finished her dream!  It's needless to say that she isn't the only one who is going to enjoy it. :-)

Ta da!!!   It comfortably fits 3 people (but it can hold more!) 

The seat is made out of an antique table top.  The table was falling apart and wasn't fixable so Dad found another great use for it.   
 
The back is an antique door Dad had lying around.  It was too short to fit a normal doorway and it fit the swing perfectly after cutting a few inches off the bottom!!  He decided to take off the handle though...didn't think it would feel good in the back of the neck!  lol!  

These are the legs of the table and the arm rest was the brace for the table legs...we love putting junk furniture to a new use!

They really were divine maple bars.....but I didn't say that.....let them think they got the last word!  Okay?  hehehe!
