As some of you know, I build lawn furniture in my spare time from Ontario white cedar that comes off our property and my dear wife sells them down in Toronto where we get a good price. Proceeds are more than enough to keep me in scotch.

The first pic is a finished single Muskoka chair. Please note the golf green and tee back in the distance of the 7th, par 3 hole.

The next one is a new creation; the double chair with table. Stole the design off the web.

Here the wife heads off to the big city to peddle her wares.

The Muskoka's is an area north of Toronto...lake and cottage country...

Where all the wealthy from Toronto go on weekends. About a 2 hour drive north. Winter time it is for skiing and skidooing.

And, oddly enough, where I used to live. Till they found out I was poor and made me leave.

The chairs are synonomous (sp?) with cottage living...wood chairs out on the dock at the lake...that kinda' thing.

Nice pics Jim. Like what you've done to the 7th hole...it was looking a bit rough last we played it.

How do you get the dogs to pose so well?

You will notice Helen has not yet cut the 7th green.

I just tell Bonnie & Clyde to go sit on their rock and, fearing the wrath of BG, off they go. Then when I want them to pose, I say "watch me" and they oblige.

Nice work Jim, the varnish really brings the wood to life.

Kind of ironic that you haul the chairs all the way down to T.O. only to have the buyers load them onto their SUVs and haul them all the way back up north.

Good work BG, I think they call these "Adirondak" chairs here in the states.

Where the rich from NYC go upstate, like those from Toronto.

What isnt visible in the background are all the indentured servants. They sitll have

that in the great north I understand. They pay them with beer.

Nice chairs there BG. Neat dogs too. God I gotta go to Canada someday.

Those are real beauties BG. I especially like the double.

In the States we have a similar chair called an Adirondak.

A variation, suitable for rolling you inside after a lazy afternoon of Scotch:

(Oops. Did I say that?)

Oddly, this came up as a Google image for Adirondak:

Go figure. It's Google.

Seriously, good looking work mate. It's no surprise they fetch good money.
