Still needs to be sanded and finished. Check out that hand-crafted rounded nose splat at the front of the seat. Weather and insect resistant materials.
Cost me about $120 and 12 hours to make one. I suspect I would get faster as I got more experience making them. What do you think I could sell it for? |

Now there's an excuse I can use on the wife to get away a few days: "Honey, I have to deliver this furniture to Canada..." |

The center armrest makes it interesting. It might be a bit overwide, but its growing on me. I've seen cedar ones for about $300, so I'd think you are looking at something around that range. Unfinished pine ones go for $150 and up. I would think that probably establishes a range.
You might also consider making a rocker/glider version. People love rockers. That's a very nicely done chair, I especially love the lines on the back. You might consider putting a more rounded edge on the outer arms. |

The center armrest is a table. Picture some chips and salsa on there, maybe une bouteille du vin.
I think I agree about rounding the arms a bit more. |

You definitely want the thicker middle armrest....
and I do like rounded arm rests as well |

It may be for you, stubby. But, I am 6'1" and I can easily reach Mrs Bull's lips over the chips and salsa every time.  |
