    Outdoor Chairs

    Plans from Lee Valley. Two made per plan and two modified for a wider fit for my full grown friends.

    Nice work, Glenn. Attractive and look like they will be easy to move around. My Grandma had a good number of those , they took up a
    lot of space,each. I really think some people made them that way to make them harder to steal. So remember that when you
    are resting in one you need to be vigilant l

    Very nice, but where are the cup holders? The chair in back on the right appears to be a different material than the other three. What species did you use?

    I also have four in that design.
    A very comfortable chair to sit in.
    The wood looks like teak that would make you a high roller. I think the ones I have are plantation teak.
    Nice work glen

    White oak which will last a decade or so in our desert basin environment without finishing. There are epoxy footings to minimize moisture wicking from dew point and the few days that we get rain.

    Really nice work but mess up your shop a little; I dare not let my wife see this picture.

    Glenn, When you live in a lovely Hacienda you need lots of color. The tarps are colorful, but I wouldn’t let their plastic gloss outshine
    fine chairs. Doesn’t Don Diago live in your neighborhood ? He will tell you “ Signor Mel is right”.

    Nice work, Glenn. There's a lot of work in each of those chairs.

    Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
