Sequence
The build, step by step
01
Trace the templates
Print full-size, glue to hardboard, cut once.
02
Cut the frame pairs
Jigsaw proud of the line, flush-trim as mirrored pairs.
03
Assemble the seat
Screw the stringers square before any slats.
04
Hang the back
The waterfall fan sets the recline; clamp before fixing.
05
Break the edges
Round every reachable edge; cedar splinters are mean.

Questions builders ask
Paint or oil?
Either. Cedar silvers beautifully if you do nothing at all.
