This chair design was probbably the first real woodworking project I made back in highschool. Since then I have easily made 60 or more of them. The first coulpe of pictures are eastern white cedar finished with a water/uv finish, just to keep them from going grey. The last picture I posted is a much nicer chair. It is poplar with chamfered edges and plugged screw holes. It was top coated with 4 coats of spar urathane to keep up with the weather and give it a smooth high gloss look. This is the type of chair I prefer to make but it is a lot more expensive and time consuming. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions ask away.

This looks like a very comfortable chair, and I mean very comfortable. How do you get up & out of it? Seriously, I’d like to make one of these for my back porch. It would look great next to my smoker full of ribs. If you are inclined (reclined?) to do so please email me so we can talk about dimensions & etc. If not, great looking outdoor chair and I wish I had one of those 60. As always, bbqKing.
