Hi Nico, that is one beautiful lounger! You have such nice woods in the Phillipines that you can find discarded!
Thanks for sharing!...............Jim

-- ~christine @ used2btrees

@Jim: Usually the grandchildren or the great grandchildren either need the money, are migrating to another country or they can’t afford to restore their ancestors’ century old houses. Its sad to say this, but because of poverty, some Filipinos actually use these nice wood for fire wood without knowing their value.

@Christine: I used a very heavy 36” MS 650 STIHL Magnum Chain Saw for the railroad tie.

Very beautiful looking lounger, and it looks very inviting, just waiting to for you to relax and enjoy it,
although at first just looking at and feeling the wood would take a high priority, but since it is designed
for eternal lovers, that still leaves plenty of time to enjoy the lounger. My beautiful lady and I have
worn out one double recliner, and I plan to keep replacing it until we no longer need it. Keeping
your lover close while you relax is an excellent way to keep love growing. Thank you for sharing, I
like the idea of no armrests, it not only looks good, but allows you to swing your legs over the side
and easily stand up.

OK, now that I have enjoyed this eye candy of a lounger, I want to make one. I just hope that I can do this justice.
Question, since I do not see any spaces in between the boards: How did you hold the form of the curved lines while assembling your lounger?

-- Someday I will be more than a sawdust wisperer

@Manasshed: There’s actually a 1/8’’ space between each board. Some boards were cut at a 85 degree angle on the table saw to make the spaces between the curves smoother.
I nailed temporary boards underneath using cheaper wood to hold the curve lines while I measure the proper spaces between each boards that I’m placing on top. I reassembled all the board on a flat surface to arrange the colors before securing it on the curve.

Thanks for all the postings guys!
