Description

These gracefully curved Adirondack chairs are one of my best-selling pieces.  With a reclining back position and contoured seat, you can comfortably sit in them for hours.  They are the perfect furniture choice for outdoor decks, sun porches, and garden areas.

The chairs on this page are made from ipe and are intended for the buyer looking for the ultimate in outdoor furniture.  The walnut-like appearance of the ipe lumber, combined with it's impressive performance characteristics, makes this chair a tremendous long-term value.  If you'd like to learn more about ipe lumber and it's benefits, please click here.  The top row of photos on this page shows the Adirondack chair built from ipe alone.  The second row of photos shows the chair built with both ipe and jatoba (pronounced JA-toe-baa) lumber.  Also known as Brazilian cherry, the orange-red jatoba wood adds a nice visual accent to the overall look of the ipe Adirondack design.  Both chairs are designed to withstand a lifetime of use.

The chair is assembled with water-proof exterior glue AND solid (not plated) stainless steel screws, which will never corrode or cause black streaks in the wood like other fasteners.  You can elect to leave the ipe lumber untreated, as shown in the top row of photos.  As with cedar lumber, untreated ipe will weather over time into a nice silver-grey patina.  If you would like to retain the dark chocolate brown appearance of the ipe, you can elect to add an exterior spar varnish finish to the chair.  This finish greatly extends the original appearance of the chair, although it should be recoated with varnish approximately every 5 years, depending on exposure to the elements.
