Art Deco Verandah Chair
Hmmmm, Art Deco is not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm very fond of it. The design of this one is a cross between one from the TAFE course and my own ideas. They have the sloping leg going right back but it takes up too much real estate that way, apart from being an excellent trip hazard (although it does look good like that).
This is a gift for a new neighbour across the road. She let me have her old fence that she replaced. The vertical pieces are from the fence, 4x2 Bowling Club Douglas Fir for the structure, and Cypress Pine flooring (from the BC) for the seat and lumbar.
I'll make another one of these (maybe for the new owner of the Bowling Club as a thanks for the timber), but I'll change some of the design:
- Tapered front legs ( a bit chunky as they are)
- a nice large radius curve on the top back corner of the sloping leg
- Band Saw shaped arm rests (a bit chunky)
- Maybe a decorative idea in the front support

"Art Deco" or "modified Adirondack "chair Brett? Either way, it looks good.
Looks like some of Mr. Liogier's products got a work-out doing the nice decorative flourishes & making those edges hand-friendly...
Cheers,IW

Thank you chaps. Yeah, it's really only got a bit of AD inspiration. Delivered it across the road this arvo.
For the next one I think I'll taper the legs and arms to alleviate some of the chunkiness. 95° back next time instead of 90° - it's quite comfortable, but just a wee bit bolt upright.
Yes, a few rasps used in the post tops, but all the edges were done with a 5mm round-over bit (it's just waaaaay to quick and accurate). Actually I think I used about 7-8 rasps on those tops. (Note to self: must make a template for the post tops).
