I made a chair/bench for myself. I re-worked this design and added some fancier joinery. The French designer apparently made a limited edition of 50 of them using a sub-contracted cabinet maker: www.outdoorzgallery.com/chloe-de-la-chaise
I added half-lapped rounded dovetails for the leg joints. I hid a 5/8" dowel behind the lap joints at the corners, then pinned the bridle joints on the back with similar dowels. The seat rail was longer than my 36" machine, but it just barely fit the diagonal - I realized that as I was drifting off to sleep the night before I cut it. Fun project in Cherry.
