Adirondack Chair and Ottoman

image image

I built this Adirondack chair and ottoman for my wife to use on our back patio. I used plans found in Building for the Lawn and Garden by John Kelsey and Ian J. Kirby. The entire project took around 24 hours broken up over three weekends. The plans called for painting the white pine used to build the pieces. I used brick colored exterior latex paint.
