I made this chair as a graduation gift for my sister-in-law. The templates were obtained from Woodcraft Magazine. I used cedar for the project. The templates were cut with my scrollsaw. The outside edges were rounded over on my router table. The chair was finished with Tung Oil (5 coats)

John, Great work, I make mine from a altered version of “Norm’s”. I make mine from cypress and sell them all day long for $100 buck a piece and footrest for $45. Something to think about. Sold 40 sets last summer in my spare time. I am considering starting to use teak and really bump the price up. Ken Rash furniture sells the same chair out of teak for $600.00 ea. Something to think about…...
Keep up the great work!

Real nice. I really like that Tung Oil finish. That should prevent it from graying out. That’s if it will be used outside.

Herb, Nice job. I do have a question for you. I have been interested in building Adirondak Chairs myself and I have always struggled with the wood type. I started to cut out red cedar that I picked up at Home Depot but it feels to soft to use. For the most part I will be painting them so I was even considering using pine. Any suggestions? Joe
