Folding Chair

I was attempting to build a Kentucky stick chair, but accidentally bought too stiff of wire so had to pivot to a more rigid design. The end result is a not so comfortable folding chair. It works for me because I am tall and my legs clear the seat and touch the ground without issue. Not the case for my wife.

Here is what it was supposed to look like. Because the wire I used was too stiff I could not get the chair to sinch together so had to add spacers.

This chair is made from a couple cedar deck planks. They were first cut into strips

Strips cut to size for the back, middle,seat

Jig made to quickly make repeat holes for the hardware

Holes done

Assembly begins

Back to the drawing board, spacers added

Applying deck stain

Done
