In this video I took a slab of wood I milled myself and turned it into a tree swing for my wedding day. This Beech slab actually came from a tree that fell on the property where we had the wedding.
Big thanks to Totalboat for supplying me with penetrating epoxy and varnish for this project. With a soft slab like this it makes a big difference in longevity to seal the slab before letting it live outside. The Halcyon clear worked really nicely as a final finish as well, super easy to apply and looked great.
Angela and I are so thankful to all our wonderful vendors who helped us with our wedding. If you are in the NYC/Long Island area and need an event executed, these people are the BEST!!
