Here's a few pictures of the finished chairs (8 of them!!)
All I have left to do is install little pad on the bottom.....I have some leftover Trex from the ramp I built to our shed about 15 years ago (see? throw NOTHING OUT!!!! ). 1 or 2 chairs have a slight wobble (I know, I know..."They'll be on the ground, why deal with the wobble?" A few might make it up to the pool deck so I'd like them to be flat). I can mill a differing size pad for the wobbly leg.
Now she wants side tables to hold your drinks!!!!!
Nice! That was a lot of work. May I ask what wood they are made from and are you going to put a finish on them. I am guessing what ever the wife wants.

They're made from white cedar. I bought 4 5" x 5" x 8ft cedar fence posts.
We'd like to them to age like teak (the friend's chair I copied), but we're not sure how to have white cedar look like teak. We've got a few months here (in Mass) before we can use them so I've got time to figure it out.
Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality.
