 Building High Quality Adirondack Chairs Starts With Pride Our goal from start to finish is to build the best Adirondack chairs we can possibly build. By handcrafting our Adirondack chairs, tables and ottomans "One at a Time" we are able to pay better attention to every detail so we can provide you with the very best in lasting Adirondack chairs and Adirondack furniture. High Quality Building Materials Our Adirondack chairs, tables and ottomans are built with only top choice durable woods. When selecting wood we look for board straightness, as knot free as possible, good consistent color and as free of any surface damage as possible. Here are the woods we currently use; California Redwood, Cypress, Kentucky Yellow Poplar, African Mahogany, Red Western Cedar, White Oak, Ipe and Treated Yellow Pine. All the hardware (i.e. screws, bolts, etc.) we use are made to use outdoors and are guaranteed by the manufacturers to not rust for the lifetime of the outdoor project. Galvanized bolts are used for attaching our chair legs and all slats and arms are attached with durafast coated screws and premium weatherproof Titebond III® wood glue. Importance Of Board Thickness & Width For better strength as well as better symmetrical balance we use thicker boards for the front and back legs of our Adirondack chairs. It is reasonable to say that structures that are built to support weight (i.e. buildings, bridges, chairs) must be made with good solid foundations. For example, our larger leg boards provide more surface area to screw and glue down seat and arm boards. This means you get a chair that will be sturdier and the wood will be less likely to split out over time. One hallmark feature of our traditional Adirondack chairs are wide arms. These wide arms need to be supported with thick strong legs as children, as well as adults tend to use them as seats. Remember a well balanced Adirondack chair is a thing of beauty as well as strength. The Building Process At our woodshop located in Lexington, Kentucky, we start by cutting the sturdy leg foundations from our 2x6 or 2x8 board stock. Then we cut our supportive seat and back slats from wood that has similar color and grain. Wide one inch thick boards are then used to make the traditional paddle style arms which are supported by thick decorative side brace boards. Once the cutting is complete the assembly is then done "One chair at a Time". All chairs are 100 percent completed so that we know that each and every piece fits correctly and that proper attention to all details is completed. |
