Nice. Very nice! I’ve been planning on a couple of Adirondack’s. I was thinking of simple treated yellow pine myself, both for cost and weather durability. Did you use KD treated?

-- Live to putter...putter to live!

Treated pine that I let dry away from weather for about 30 days before I cut my pieces. Used 2 1/2” plated deck screws, then 2 coats of sealer that I can’t remember the name of. They say that memory is the second thing to go! And for the life of me, I can’t remember what was the first thing!

Good looking chair. I really like the design, especially the top back. Excellent job !!! Mel

I copied an old rocker my grandmother had, but made some changes. The original back was square, I just added a little flare to it. And yes, it is heavy.
