[Quads]

Take the old one apart, make template, profit.

Nicely done. What species wood did you use? Is that cedar?

Cedar with a very generous helping of BLO for the finish.
Wifey guilted me into some for the FiL (I guess fathers day bullshit is coming up?) so I spent the morning cutting 2 more and making some side tables.

Oh snap. Don’t forget the footstools too. FiL needs to be comfy.

Came here to say this finish looks awesome and also much better than the "old version".
I wasn't looking for this, but it's been in the back of my mind for a while to build a couple (since we got rid of plastic abominations my wife bought back in time). Was wondering if anyone has a drawing/template of a comfortable adirondack chair they would like to share?

upd: found a proper model while I was searching around, we had smth like this back in time when I was younger. Would like to re-create them before June.
