Hello Everyone

I don't post many projects on the forum but I like seeing projects from other people. I am going to start posting more as I get them done. Here is one I did for my neice for an auction for her school. She is a teacher not a student.

The chair construction looks great - excellent job! I'm sure your niece will love it. Question - what is the carving of? I cannot make out what it is from the photo.

Thanks for the replies

The chair was a little bit of a challenge. I got the plans off the internet but I had to change the back design to get the carving on it. The carving is of mount rainier in washington state which I look at every day out my front window. The mountian will show a lot better when it gets painted ( I hope). I wil post a picture after it gets stained and painted.
Thanks again

Looks similar to the Adirondack chair that I made for my grand kids.

I managed to keep the rounded back by sledding the back slats and carving across them all.

Of course just centerline text not a mountain scene but I suppose you could do the same.

You chair looks nice though and the view through you window must be nice as well. I too get to look at mountains through my front window though mine is of Francis Peak and Farmington Canyon.

Really nice job, I love that you incorporated the mountains outside your window, it will mean that much more to your neice.

Haven't there been warnings elsewhere in the forum to avoid carving treated wood? Is treated OK to carve?
