I just thought that maybe someone would be interested in seeing the glider tree gym that I made for my boys yesterday. I collect driftwood, sterialize and bake the branches. The center pole is oak with 3 coats of finish.
I've added several hanging items, a fishing basket, pouches, ribbons, etc. my boys just love it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/multi.gif" alt="" />

WOW thats sweet! I bet the gliders love it! get some picks of them on it also...

what type of a finish do you use that is safe?
Looks awesome!

I use a polycrylic (the same finish that's used on furniture) Table tops etc. When it's dry the surface is hard. This makes it easy for cleaning etc.

Here's a pic of them playing on the tree. If anyone would like one let me know, I have tons of material!

Another Pic....

I seen that spinner in there...what is that made out of?

It's similar to Tent Material, the tail of it is ribbon.

Awesome creation! I bet your gliders love their new tree...

WOW. that is super! Can't wait to get my gliders bonded to me to where I can let them out on something like that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yelclap.gif" alt="" />
