THIS IS MADE ENTIRELY FROM 3X2 AND 8X2 CLS TIMBER.CLS TIMBER IS NORMALLY USED FOR STUD WORK.THIS CLS TIMBER HAS BEEN SEALED WITH CLEAR THOMPSONS WATER SEAL FOR TIMBER.I SPRAYED IT ON ALL THE LENGHTS I NEEDED TO MAKE TREE SEAT.ONCE I DESIGNED THE WAY I WANTED TO BUILD IT.!! I THEN MACHINED ALL PARTS MORTICE/TENNON AND HOUSING JOINTS.THIS I THEN USED BOILED LINSEED OIL.AS STAINING IT WOULDNT LOOK RIGHT? PLUS OVER THE YEARS THIS WILL GO A GOLDEN HONEY COLOUR.PLUS EACH YEAR YOU PRESSURE WASH SEAT THEN RE OIL IT.THE FIXINGS I USED TO MAKE THIS ARE ALL STAINLESS STEEL SCREWS/BOLTS.AND WATER PROOF PVA GLUE.CLS TIMBER IS CHEAP TO BUY AND ITS GOOD TIMBER.PLUS YOU HAVE A FEW KNOTS IN THIS TIMBER IT ALSO BRINGS OUT THE FEATURES IN THE SEAT.! AS YOU NOTICE THE SEATING IS ROUNDED?THATS IS BECAUSE I USED THE 8X2 CLS SO I COULD GET THE ROUNDED PIECES OUT OF IT.FOR THE SEAT.THIS WAS CUT USING THE BANDSAW WITH A TEMPLATE I MADE UP FROM HARDWOOD SCRAP.THIS IS NOT A 5 MINUTE JOB TO BUILD THIS.!! TIME MAKES PERFECTION..ALSO AS THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY  IS PICKING UP SLOWLY  THERE WILL BE A FEW SKIPS OVER THE COUNTRY WITH ODDS AND ENDS OF TIMBER BEING THROWN.BUT AS ALWAYS YOU GOT TO BE THERE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO GET A BARGAIN??
