Adirondeck Chair Project

[Douglas Robinson]

I have just completed the construction of 6 Adirondeck Chairs at LOML's request. I attach pictures. I will start finishing them tonight. I expect it to take until next weekend to complete. The chairs are made from ERC I bought from Ridger at Easy Wake Hardwoods. I have a lot of cleaning to do in the shop.

Next up is a flag case and then a head board out of the Black Walnut I bought from Jeff.

Man those look comfortable, kick back smell the cedar and be lazy on a hot summer day. All that missing is a beer holder :lol:

Excellent work Doug, they look great. Those will be awesome on your back patio. What are you going to use as a finish???

Great job Doug - they look beautiful.

Thanks for the kind comments. I was going to finish them with epoxy and ship varnish, but turns out I don't have enough on hand. So three coats of Spar Varnish is the plan. I got two chairs coated with one coat tonight.

Carla I am using Norm's plans that were in American Woodworker. You are welcome to borrow them.

I have made other designs before, but these work well. I cant wait until I am done and can move on to the next project.:eusa_pray

Great looking chairs Doug. Looks like some nice colored cedar spar varnish should do the trick.
