I am in the process of researching for my next 'Daddy-Do' project. I need to build two Adirondack Chairs for my daughter, who lives in the Chicago area. Needless to say, these will only be used in the summer.
I showed her several plans and she wants this one. http://www.minwax.com/wood-projects/...dack-chair.pdf
It is a folding chair and they have the space to store it in the winter. I am trying to decide what wood to use. I have looked at a number of plans and have come up with a number of different woods that were sugested. They ranged from: pine/fir, pressure treated, cedar, and redwood. I even thought about Ipe. I haven't priced any of the wood but I think that redwood and Ipe would be too expensive(2 chairs needed). I am looking at 45 +/-bf for 2 chairs.
Any suggestions?
TIA
