That chair looks very comfortable. I can envision a dip in the lake followed by a cold beer, a baited hook, and a sit down in the adirondack chair. Nice work.

The chair does look good.

With it built with Ipe, it should last forever.

Very nice! Ipe is a great wood selection for outdoor furniture. How did you like all of that yellow sawdust? I last used Ipe over a year ago, and it’s still all over my tools.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

CaptainSkully,
My tools and I are used to Ipe dust. I’m a deck builder, and all of my decks are Ipe. I have Ipe running thru my veins. That’s why I build my side projects out of Ipe…because of all the scraps that are crowding my small shop.

Nice, very nice take on the classic design. I dig the motif and material too. Nice indeed.

always,

Great looking chair. How many blades did you go through working with that ipe?

Mike,
Ipe is hard, but if you have good carbide blades, it’s no problem. I build about 20-30 Ipe decks every year, and I mostly use my Makita SCMS with a 10” Forrest Chopmaster for every crosscut. I only sharpen that blade once a year. I roundover every crosscut using my Bosch Colt with a 3/16” radius bit (Lee Valley). Those are good for a year or more. Bosch jigsaw blades do lose their edge quickly when ripping. Ipe is fun to work with, if you don’t mind the sawdust.
