Our log chairs are made from oak
wine
barrels that are no longer usable
to make wine in. Steven developed
this chair after seeing how beautiful
the
white oak that these barrels are
made from. It is a shame to let this
wood go
to waste as only flower containers. At
request of his sister to construct a chair
from a wine barrel
he developed this
chair and bar stools
and has been
constructing them for
the last 7 years.
These chairs are very strong, yet comfortable and will last many years.They are as much an art
form as they are a functional chair.
Each
chair weighs between 65 & 75 lbs. They come with or without a swivel
with a 360
degree rotation. The base is also hand made
from douglas fir 3x3, which are attached to a laminated 3x16 beam with 2x2 braces between the
legs. The
recycled wine barrels are
dried for 6 months, then cut in half,
and pressure washed to prepare them
for
construction. All chairs are then sanded, stained with min wax wood
stain, then sealed with interior or
exterior water base polyurethane. If
you prefer a different stain color from min wax or other brands we will be
happy to accommodate you. The metal
band are painted with enamel metal
spray paint. The colors are gloss black, leather brown, sand and gloss red.
Special colors can be ordered. The finished washer that holds the bands
in place are black, nick le and brass
with screws that are black, zinc or
brass. The carvings done on the chairs
are a moose family, bears, trees,
horses, bull elk, bugling elk, buffalo, grizzly paw tracks, and soon to come
wolf pack chasing bull elk. The
cushions are made from 4 inch and
2 inch foam and covered with black
or brown vinyl or you can choose
your own fabric. These chairs are all handcrafted with unique artistic and wood crafting skills. Prices start at $325.00 for the basic non swivel with
no carvings to $499.00 for the fully carved that swivel. We offer a discount when more than one chair is ordered.
For all lovers of rustic furniture,
these handcrafted chairs and bar
stools are truly unique.
