This chair is a great blend of Adirondack and Craftsman/Mission style, combining the comfortable angles of a traditional Adirondack chair with a smaller footprint and higher seat that makes it especially well suited for a deck. The higher seat also makes getting in and out considerably easier.
Each chair can be built from just six 1x6s, 8 feet long, making it an economical project using lumber available at virtually any lumberyard. I built mine from clear cedar, although tight-knot cedar works well if you plan to paint. And while traditional Craftsman colors look great, these chairs are just as much at home in something a little more colorful.
I've been building variations of this chair for more than 20 years and have refined the cutting and assembly process through years of actually building them. This isn't a theoretical design—the plans are based on a chair that has been built many times. The detailed cut list, board layout, and clear building instructions are designed to make the project as straightforward as possible.
The chair's back profile can also be customized. The plans show the classic square openings, but you can create nearly any profile you like to give the chair a look that reflects your own style or region.
The project is intended for a woodworker who is comfortable using basic shop tools and familiar with fundamental woodworking and construction techniques.
