I have finally got my Adirondack chairs in place with a protective finish on them. The finish gave the cypress wood a nice look, eventhough they will weather with time. A neighbor came by on his boat and complimented me on the chairs and said twice that he wanted me to build him a set. I said you might want to know what I will charge before you place an order. After my quote he said he would have to show them to his wife to see if she liked them. Didn't hear from him again. I have plenty of things to do for myself to keep me busy without working for free for others.
