A nice chair. Fine wood from Kentucky.

Nice job! I’ve been looking at so many different styles of adirondacks but I like the one you went with. Simple, clean lines and the back is attached to the armrests instead of having vertical supports. How sturdy would you say your chair is? Would it survive someone 300lbs sitting on it on any regular basis? Not that I’m that heavy but I’ve got some heavier clydesdale friends so…

It looks good. If your making more did you make some Luan templates?

Thanks for the comments guys!
@Sixstrings I believe that my chair has a 250 Lbs limit. All the parts are only 3/4’’ it wouldn’t be too good to see someone go crashing to the floor! @don W Yes I do have templates.

cool chair very well done.

Great looking chair. The only advice i coudl throw out is to round over the seat slats just a little. I find that when im sitting in mine for longer periods of time they start to dig in a bit.

Thanks for the advice!
I did sand the edges of with sand paper. Do you think I should do that with a round over router bit?

Looks great to me, I wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks for sharing.

Thats a great looking chair. I think I used the same pattern with the two I made. I’ll second the motion on the rounded over slats. I used a 1/4” round over bit. It make’s a big difference in the comfort dept. If you want to try something a little different on the next one look at my projects and you will see one that I made into a glider.

WWG – yea i would use a router with a roundover bit. Ive toyed with the idea of removing all the slats on the 2 chairs i built and rounding them over but i really dont want to stain again.
