They were invented around 1900. Almost too simple to patent. The ones without curves are not very cosy; the good ones have a beer cup holder..

My only request is that you circle back and reveal how this Adirondack journey unfolds. Many on this site are fully invested in your crusade emotionally and are oft times left in timeless suspense.
A prediction--
my carpenter will make her chairs and she'll have a Happy Christmas.
F - I spoke to him again this morning

The beauty of their wide, flat arms is they almost don't even need the beer cup holder. However, I came across a photo of one online with a beer bottle opener tucked under the arm and my husband is now keen on one of those.
But of course! My prediction is the same as WW. Getting them done locally would be very convenient and always nice to give business to a local. Will still let you know how it plays out... and even post a photo (now that I know how)!
WW - No hay luz and the rain has passed. I'm on the look out for your guy!
WW - Your guy came by this morning and will bring me a quote this afternoon. Thanks very much for setting that up!! It was actually me he had done work for before on this road but I hadn't realized it. He had fixed up some broken chairs and tables we had when we first moved into this house. Seems like a really nice guy!
... Now hopefully he gives me a nice quote!

Tried it... liked it... ordered 4 the same, plus 2 little ones for my girls!
May we have a drum roll........
the joys of living in a small town....
Mission accomplished! Thanks again!!
Love the chairs... Very comfy, well made... and only a little late! My girls' especially love their mini versions. He also threw in a table to match for no extra cost, which is lovely as well. Will post a photo of the chairs tomorrow.

Here are our finished chairs... We have 4 full size ones, 2 little ones for the kids, and the table. We love them.. and the girls' especially love their little ones!
i had to read it four times before i figured out you were talking about the chairs, and not the kid in wellingtons.
These look just like the ones we bought in April - will take photos and post them when we get there in a couple of weeks.
Finally thought to take photos of the chairs and lounges we had made last year.
Photo shows two different chairs, one lower and more reclined
