I just finished this set of Adirondack chairs. They are the same type and pattern as my previous chairs. I just got a planer so I opted for rough cut aromatic cedar, common here in Oklahoma. It's such an ugly tree on the outside but the wood is beautiful. It's also pretty reasonable, cost...

This is a cypress garden bench I am finishing up now for my wife. All frame components and back slats are mortise and tenon. Since I dont know how to make a tenon with a curving shoulder, the top of the back slats use a floating tenon. The first few joints were made the traditional way with hand...

It's just a simple table, but it yielded some good lessons for a woodworking newcomer. Red oak, amber shellac and satin poly. Thanks for checking it out. John

Here is another project that I recently completed for the golf course I work at (and is currently my best client for my woodworking business). Like the a few of the other things I've built for them, it's made from teak and cypress. Since we are in South Florida and have many cypress trees on the...

I wanted to channel George Nakashima to understand better why he chose the pieces of wood, specifically redwood slab, to make into magnificent furniture that would enable the soul of the tree to live a second life as a work of art. He deliberately chose boards with knots, burrs, and figured...

This is my first larger project. Prior to this I made a cutting board and some wine boxes out of pallet wood. I figured a Adirondack chair was the next step up. All you LJ's out there make it look so easy. : ) I have a long ways to go. This is the Grandpa version of the Adirondack chair. It...
