ive made a few adirondacks myself and this one is definitely unique in design.the only thing that concerns me is the use of plywood for a chair that will be outdoors,usually not a good choice,time will tell.but your design is awesome.i may have to borrow some of it,great job.

Very beautiful version of Adirondak design, very unique. I rarely comment Adirondak project because they are so common, but this one deserves some words.

I was a little concern also with using the plywood. Cypress or Cedar or something like that would be preferred. I put several layers of urethane on it but as you say, time will tell. Also, I have it outside, but under the covering of my front porch. So maybe that will help prolong it a little. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for the comments. Yes, this was definitely not the low cost way to go, but I just love the look of the oak. We’ll see how well it holds up being outdoors.

Nice looking chair—I like the design! Those look like large dowels—is that closet rod—if not what size? What size drill bit/hole saw(?) did you use to cut the holes? Once dowels get fairly large, I often have trouble drilling/cutting a perfect hole to fit them—you’ve done a great job with this chair.
