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

Here’s the rest of the chairs modeled after the prototype I built earlier in the year along with a table. The table isn’t really an adirondack, but I think it goes nicely with the chairs. all the joints are mortise and tenon and the finish is Cabot’s Timber Oil in natural. I really like the finish except for the fact that it has to be re-applied every year or two.

Looks great, adirondack style tables and foot stools always look a little weird anyway.

Wow Carl. Love it. I’m currently building two similar chairs from cedar. It was a Veritas plan I borrowed, but I like the angles on yours. Always good to see another Carolina poster on the site. I’m about 15 miles from you in Lexington.

very nice…I am building a second one as well…I really like the design that you used on the chairs…very nice…is this one you came up with or did you follow a plan—-either way it is very unique…

the table is outstanding…and it looks great with the chiars…

I am working on my 2nd chair now…trying to really improve on chair number one from last summer…hopefully will be done this week…

Thanks for your great comments. These were a lot of fun to make.

Napaman, I used a picture from Fine Woodworking July/August 2007 to model it after. You can click on the prototype link above for more particulars. If I did these again, I think I’d make the front of the chair a little higher so as to make it a little more like a true adirondack and slope more to the rear so as to cradle the old butt a little more. These didn’t turn out as comfortable as I would have liked, but they’re ok. Somewhere on Lumberjocks, someone did just that, but alas I can’t seem to find it.

Jeff, I guess sooner or later you and I will have to get together and trade some lies. I didn’t realize you were that close.

Carl, I like that whole look you built there. It looks peaceful. A sanctuary of a well built and beautiful ensemble.

Really outstanding. You’ve built what is now my favorite Adirondack chair. It’s really beautiful. Very elegant lines, with modern sytling, but it captures a classic touch. Exceptional work!
