Thinking about building a pair of these in a design I did from a photo.
The wood required includes 5/4 and 4/4 stock, and I'm thinking of either western red cedar or Alaskan yellow cedar.
The lumber tally comes to about 25 board feet per chair.
Amazon sells some nice looking chairs, made from what the call yellow cedar, nicely painted, for about $125 each. You put them together.
My cost for materials is going to exceed this, because I'm paying retail for wood, paint, hardware.
