Just finished watching the Cedar Adirondack Chair tutorial video. One thing I question is, as a piece of outdoor furniture, the material is going to have a good amount of seasonal expansion and contraction. The pieces are rigidly fastened with glue, screws and carriage bolts. How does this allow for seasonal movement?
What size blade do you use on your bandsaw to cut the pieces out.
