Shade Lounger

This has long been on the “to do” list.
It gets very hot here (Middle Portugal) in the summer – it hit 40 today (that’s 104 in American money) – so I’ve taken to having a little siesta in the hottest part of the day. The house is cool, but so it is in the shade outside, and I wanted somewhere to snooze – hence the Shade Lounger. Hopefully that explains why it’s so unnaturally wide.
I did take some pictures with it in the shade, but it’s so dark under the 2 ancient figs under which it sits, that you can’t see anything!
The last picture shows the basic construction – as ever, simple, but I’m fairly sure you’d classify those things as joints!
Couple of firsts for me in here – tight joints (possibly too tight, are you supposed to require a sledge hammer to get it together?), and feet that were the right size and didn’t need “shaving” to get the thing level.

Stained beech and oak, finished with oil/varnish.

I’m not sure whether to enter this bench or the other one in the competition.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, it’s not a skirt, it’s a lungi!
