Hippo Chair
scoogen Jun 22, 2015
Hippo Chair that I just finished for my daughter's set. Figured I'd throw this up for the contest because it has some curves to it. Got lucky and just finished it today.
Hand drawn design on Lodgepole Pine from Lowes
Jigsaw to cut all the curves, circular saw for the straight lines (seat and back)
Painted with Valspar Reserve semi-gloss.
The completed Hippo chair
Here's the hippo drawn out and the top left is the seat.
The full set. Hippo chair in the back.
These rock! My niece and nephew would love these.
These are cute, I have a niece who would dig these, maybe I'll try something similar. How did you join the seat and back to the Hippo?
I was wondering the same thing. I thought about it a bit and I would probably use pocket holes and fill them in with the little fillers you can buy.

Used screws cause I figured when my little one grows up I can gradually raise the seat to follow her.
