Characterized by distinctive good looks, built-in comfort and rock-solid durability, Adirondack chairs are as American as apple pie. A perennial favorite from California to Maine (and all points in-between), this classic design is named for the region in upstate New York where it originated. Unfortunately, Adirondack chairs also tend to be pretty expensive. If you're a woodworker, however, there's no reason to pay high prices. The simplicity of the design makes it easy (not to mention inexpensive) to build yourself. The chair pictured here is built from standard pine and fir lumber, requires no special tools and is easy enough for most woodworkers. Using full-size patterns, simply trace the pieces onto wood, cut out and sand. Next, assemble everything using brass or plated carriage bolts and wood screws. To finish, add a coat of paint, stain, whitewash or sealer. The chair measures about 36 inches tall by 24 inches wide by 36 inches deep.
