The snow is melting in Northeastern Pennsylvania and spring cannot be far off. Making some additional deck chairs to bring outside.

No snow here in SW Florida, so they can sit out all year round. Beautiful work!!!

Always liked that style , and your all of your fine projects. Remember...even though you are in PA there is no law against using the “traditional” Art Deco
paint colors ....”they’re not just for Florida anymore !”
Those are very nice looking chairs, Mark. Are they your own design? How do you make those curved arms?
Thanks for the comments guys. Dave, this is a design of Michael Fortune, a well know woodworker/designer. The curved arms are made through bent laminations, resawing 8/4 cherry into 1/8 inch thick boards, applying glue, and clamping them over a form. Dry after 24 hours.
Very nice work. The seat and back appear to be bent lamination also. That was a lot of work to do all that.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
Great job!
Great job. They look very comfortable.

Nicely done Mark. All that resawing really paid off. Did you get plans for them somewhere?
Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.
Snazzy.
Kudos
Well done, Mark. You’re going to enjoy those a lot. I often find it hard to make multiples of anything. Takes a lot of motivation. On the other hand, once the forms are made and the saw is running it’s sort of like why not make four or more. Hopefully, we’ll all be vaccinated soon and you can have a proper get together to break in those chairs.
Thanks Bill. Yes, the plans are in Fine Woodworking in two different editions of the monthly magazine several years ago. Additionally they have a video workshop which you can purchase on DVD or you can access if you subscribe to the digital magazine. I found it helpful to use both.
