First Cedar Demonstrator.

Beautiful job and a beautiful chair. And you right the Western Red Cedar really makes it POP

May I ask what you are pricing it at?

Nice lawn, Russell! And a really nice chair.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

JCantin. They are normally $189, but this place I’m demonstrating at charges 20% commission so sales from there will be $199.

I agree with the compliments. I’d just add that rounding those two outside corners on the back brace would make the chair more attractive on a subliminal level.

The annoying feature of most Adirondacks is the center splat, which presents a hard surface against which your spine rests. Your four-splat idea counters that nicely.

Very good work, Russell.

Kindly,

Lee

I just took it apart so I can transport it to Curvy’s. I thought just removing the back would make it so I could get it in my trunk, but the trunk is deeper than tall. I hope I don’t have to deliver many of these.

Lee, the entire back brace will be revamped on the next design. It has to be thick enough to get some screws to bite without poking through anywhere so I’m thinking a 2×6 shaped to fit. I must admit, I did forget to round the corners off, but this way it retains that classic look. I’m a little leary about leaving the back unsupported from the top brace to the top of the slat. This design makes the arms level with the ground whereas other designs brace the back slats higher because they don’t tie into the arms. I thought at one point that if I doweled the back slats about 4 inches from the top, that would do the trick without using more screws, but I absolutely hate dowels.
