Don’t tell us this was made from grungy wood. It is beautiful and we both know it. Nice work guy.

I like your design and workmanship

as a great fan of the adirondack chair i always wondered if it was possible to build a double chair and your design has inspired me to rethink the idea

Wow, that looks great. I have some wood that I think is Sassafras. Came in a big lot from TN from my parents. About 20-25 boards (Only $115, gotta love that). Was supposed to be Red Oak and Walnut. Was really a mixture of those and Hickory and two boards that I wasn’t sure of. They look similar to oak but are more golden in color (looks very much like the wood in your chairs) and smell like freshly ground black pepper when I take my block plane to it.

I’ve found lots of descriptions of the smell of Sassafras and none of them say pepper or something similar smelling. But everyone I hold some shavings too immediately says “pepper.” Is this Sassafras or some other wood?

Good one! I’m working on one of these right now and I think I’ll try and incorporate that “book shelf” under the table into it. Thanx for the ideas! Bet your friends will cherish this forever! Or until the divorce! That’s when the big battle for ownership would begin!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

A beautiful bench that they will cherish for many years to come.
