This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Round Wood Woodworking.  

This BB originated as a duplicate of PEP: Build 2 Nice Outdoor Chairs so you might be able to apply for that BB as well.

For this BB, you will build two nice outdoor chairs!



Minimum requirements:
 - Must look very nice
 - Must be stable when people sit on them
 - Must be oiled with raw linseed oil, tung oil or some other natural oil to protect the chairs from the elements
 - Must be made with roundwood (no dimensional lumber)

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- Your chunks of wood that you are starting with
- Progress about halfway through, with the hand tools you have decided to use for this
- List any power tools you used (Otis would love it if you only used hand tools)
- Show what you are oiling the chairs with
- Oiling the chairs
- The final product
