Step 7Dovetail Cuts
Two Dovetail joints are used to attach the Cross Brace between the chair's main "A" frame legs.
The Cross Brace could have been lashed to the "A" frame but, the Dovetailing adds a bit of structural integrity to the bottom brace of the seat.
To make a Dovetail Joint; make two 45 degree angled cuts about half way through each of the larger diameter "A" frame legs.
The distance between the bottom of the angled cuts should be about the same dimension as the diameter of the log being used for the Cross Brace.
