Adirondack Chairs Adirondack Chairs Adirondack Chairs Click the pictures to enlarge them

A year ago I made a set for my parents and another set for my in-laws in the fall. Both of those were painted white. I finally was able to make a set for us. I used 5/4 southern yellow pine. All of the screws are plugged. We used golden pecan stain with several coats of pulyurethane. My wife even helped out with the painting. I am going to have to quit showing them to people, everybody wants a set. I put them out Friday evening and we enjoyed them all weekend. Even ate breakfast in them Saturday morning. I was glad on my first set that I made templates for all the pieces

These are nice pieces. Adirondack chairs seem to be timeless pieces that are in demand generation after generation. And, as you are finding, once it is known that you can make them everyone in the family and neighborhood seems to want one as well.

Well done.

Great chairs, Bill. Let me ask you, after eating breakfast in them, did you wake up in time for lunch? bbqKing

these are really nice!!! one question—-it looks like the back is flat—-or straight across…as opposed to fitting around a curved back piece…

I really like the thickness—-they give a solid or “stout” feeling the the project…and the table goes great…I have pne more to build (made one last summer and didnt finish…) and I think I will use the remaining wood for a table and/or leg rest—-I am going to favorite your project because I really like the set!!!

If your not doing this for a living you have missed your calling. I have been wanting to do this for myself for some time now and I think you have pushed my buttons. Thanks for taking the time to make these for you friends and taking the time for show me.
