Adirondack Chair and Stool - *PIC*

[Dennis Peacock]

Well.....after all the design changes, additions and deletions, Glenn and I have finally come up with what we like as a chair and stool design. You can see that this is only our "prototype" chair and stool as the REAL chairs will be framed up with 6/4 Cypress and 4/4 Cypress. The chair here is made of Florida YEW wood and the stool is Cypress.

I'll post details of the front and back (curved back support for the upper end of the back splats) at a later time when we have a couple of the REAL chairs made. Feedback is welcomed.

Thanks Ol' Buddy.....ya know....if ya lived closer......? You could drop over and give'r a sit fer a spell and try it out for comfort.!!!

Very nice Dennis, I like that fan back. The only problem is that I could never get back out of a chair like any more.

[Jim Becker]

Dennis...great design. They look super!

That's a very good point, Dick. Anyone contemplating building Adirondacks should research their designs carefully, especially if they have back issues or other physical concerns with getting in an out of chairs. Some of the designs are very, very deep in the rear, exacerbating the problem you mention. Others are more forgiving. The two I built a few years ago are the NYW design and I find them pretty comfortable as the slope of the seat is a lot more mild compared to other designs.

Prototype you say?! Sheeeesh....I'd love to have that grace one of our decks as a *finished* product! Nice design and as Dick said, I really like the fan design on the backrest. Adds a real "beach-type" feel to it. Can't wait to see the production pieces! Yes, details will be welcomed!

Jim, getting out of them is one thing but, per your bottom picture, it seems as though that would be the *least* of the problems! Man, I just can't wait for Spring. We had bikers out in force over the weekend, rained cats 'n dogs yesterday and now they're calling for more snow by Thursday! Grrrrrrr...

I hear you...fortunately, that picture was from back in 2000 and it doesn't happen often. 67º here yesterday and it will be close to that today. However...fair warning...Friday is my birthday and it's almost tradition to have some form of major snow storm in proximity to that date!

And to refocus Dennis' thread, I'll say it: "Adirondack Chairs"

[Lars Thomas]

Dennis, that's going to be one well built chair. Even the prototype looks good. Lars

Dennis
The chair looks very nice
But make sure to fasten the front end of the arm rests securely as I tend to use the arms for leverage when attempting "lift off" from a sitting position.

Nice design! I love the Japanese fan-like effect of the back...it speaks to me!

[Dan Bussiere]

Nice Dennis!
How come my finished chairs don't look as good as your "Prototype"?

I like the stool also!

Dennis, great looking chair. I like the tapered look of the slats. Nice touch. It looks like a keeper to me! The only thing it's missing is a nice glass of ice tea, and in my parts, a sunny 75 degree day.

John,

I can make and send you one in KIT form if you would like one. You can PM me and I will provide the details about material costs.
