Adirondack … Again!

THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY…

s you will have already noted from the photo on the cover, we have reprised the venerable Adirondack chair once again. Please allow me to say that I know that there is no middle ground in what I’ll call the “Great Adirondack Debate” that makes up the warp and weft of the woodworking community. For many woodworkers, another version of the classic American chair, especially one with the folding ability of has once again gone to “the dark side.” Uncomfortable! Clunky! Crude! Childish! Sadly, I have heard these words before. And in truth, I even understand their consternation. I really do! And I also understand that, like so many other important issues dividing this fair land of ours, there is no middle ground. Like chicken livers, either you are all in or they are not to be countenanced.
