My wife is interested in getting some new patio furniture and pointed out
this set to me:

(not my auction). I have searched around at the local stores (Target, etc)
and found that sets similar to this are available in Teak, Brazilian Cherry,
Nyatoh, and Kapurwood. I can't find any information on the last wood,
though. Personally, I love the look of the BC but I'm not familiar with its
durability compared to teak. I see it has a high specific gravity (.91) so
I would expect it to be well suited for outdoor use. I checked my local
place (Kettle Moraine Hardwoods) for their Teak price and found 1" stock
between $18-22/bf. Ouch. Anyway. Has anyone created a similar outdoor set
that could give me some idea of what the BF total might be? My wife has an
immediate need for it but, of course, would rather I work on some other
things first. The honeydew list is getting longer and longer.

I guess I should have also asked if anyone knows where I could find plans
for chairs similar to these. The table plans are available at a number of
sites (including good 'ol Nahm), but anything other than Adirondack is
difficult to come by.
Thanks!
