Here is a simple to build chair, that will only take a few hours of your time, depending on how fancy you want to get with the project. The first 3 pictures shows the completed chair, I chose to take a leaf an butterfly stencil and using black lacquer sprayed the design on the chair, I finished up by spraying the whole chair with clear lacquer. The 4th picture just shows a 6’ 2”X12”, this is all the lumber you need to complete this project. The 5th picture just shows this 6’ board divided into two pieces, one at 39” and one at 33”. The last picture shows these same two pieces with the proper cuts, and holes for the handle, and where the seat goes thru the board. If you have a planer, it is a good idea to run these boards thru it, and take it down to 5/4 stock, this will lighten it up a bit, because I used southern yellow pine that is quite heavy. if you are interested in making one of these, I have a one sheet of paper plan with all of the details on it, send me your email address, and I will send you one. I don’t know how to send anything on Lumberjocks

Very cool. Super compact when disassembled. I think it would be good to have a few of these around when friends drop by.

Great Job, Don. So simple. Love the designs also.
Thanks for sharing.
Wonder where this one will go.

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

Looks good Don, but if I sat down that low I wouldn’t be able to get up.

It is low slung Tony, but you would be surprised as to how comfortable these are. These look to me as if they were designed to set on the peak of a roof. I just sent some plans out, hope that everyone has fun building these.

Nice chair!
Not too long ago, I saw Scott Phillips on the American Woodshop, make one like that… He used a bunch of old Walnut…
I made a couple of them a few years ago using the Slats method…
COOL chair!
