| The
final installment of our outdoor kitchen project is this set of four
tall, curved-back chairs. They share several details from the other
kitchen pieces, including solid cedar construction and a two-tone
finish. However, because they are chairs, they offer the unique challenge
of building a piece of furniture that is equal parts attractive, comfortable,
and durable. |
Some of the chair’s good looks can be attributed to the natural
beauty of cedar and the two-tone finish we applied to it. But there
are other details that also contribute. For instance, notice that
the lower stretchers each have a pronounced arc cut in the lower edge.
This makes these structural pieces seem less clunky and more elegant,
without sacrificing any rigidity. Along the same lines, the thick
profile of the rear legs is softened with a long taper at the top
end. |
