Today's Spotlight On: My new chairs

Kudos to my dad for making these exquisite Adirondack chairs!
My father, who is semi-retired, loves to work with wood and he has the biggest and most elaborately outfitted woodworking shop that I've ever seen. He's always looking for new projects to do and recently he asked myself and my siblings if we might be interested in Adirondack chairs. I gave a resounding "heck, yeah!". I have long admired these types of chairs. Not only do they have a timeless appeal and beauty, but they are very comfortable. He asked me how many I wanted and I asked for two. I didn't know he'd be able to make them so quickly! He confessed to me when he dropped these off that he made 15....now I wish I had asked for more of them!
Now my only dilemma is whether I want to stain them or paint them!
