wow thats a great chair. i would use a threaded bar by marking and centreing each beam and making the dowel wider on the bottom beam by about 2 inch
id put the bolt and 2 washers . them id measure the bar so it came 2 inches less the the top of the beam and drill the dowel 2 1/2 in and tighten the two bolts together and fill top dowel

Hardwood dowel would be a good way to go. You can get bolts that set in resin, grab bolts etc. but you still have to measure and drill
