Eldon's Adirondack Cedar Chair
The design has not yet been documented, but Jenny wants four more to be built, and therefore diagrams and cut lists will be made for the production process.

Here is the Chair at the Pond

At the Pond
Cyanoacrylate Adhesive (CA) was used to "paint" the end of each leg to help preserve the Cedar from rot. CA was also used to attach "T" stiffeners under each of the seat slats, and CA was used to attach the Arm Rest Tops to the outside rails. Outdoor Wood Screws and Staple where use for the construction.

The rough Cedar was only sanded where it would be in contact with a user.
