Less is more for the Adirondack chair

Today was the first day since Monday that I was able to work on the chair some.  I attached the mid-back support to the upright pieces, measured and cut the curves for the armrests and back, mounted the top-back support, and chopped and dropped the whole thing 4".

When I was at the plot Tuesday, I measured the maximum possible depth under the arbor that could accommodate the chair.  Thankfully, when I sat in it today, I found that I had a similar (but less pronounced) problem as my dad had: my feet were on tip toe when seated.  Thus: by lowering the height to what is more comfortable, I also shortened the base.  As a result, the chair is now 39.5" long which fits in the allowable space with an inch to spare.

Now that the armrest and chair back work is done, the only other piece to make is a horizontal support to join the rear legs.  Once I've sanded it and applied a water sealant to the whole thing, the chair is finished.
