Look what followed us home from the outdoor market today. I love, love, love supporting my local woodworkers and I really get jazzed when I can support a young woodworker who is just starting out and doing something cool/creative.
Keith Forsyth over at Barrel Revival made this chair from old oak barrels staves used in the wineries in central Washington.
Beautiful oak arms doweled into place.
Bung hole and stave stains incorporated into the design. The purple is from the wine.
Keith uses the existing barrel stave curves to make a super comfy chair.
More stave stains with the Barrel Revival logo.
Wine glass holder .. of course!

Doing good work and supporting good work, makes for a good life. Take a bow, Marilyn.
Thanks! 🙂
really neat!
And priced well .. I thought.
The level, plumb, and square podcast built something like these. I really like this variation on the adirondack chair.
Way cool Marilyn. That’s a gorgeous piece and supporting a local artist makes it even better.
These are awesome! Now I have to rethink those wine tastings my daughters keep trying to get me to – sounds like a possible source of “pre-bent” wood projects!
Yeah, I know .. cool pre-brent wood and he doesn’t do any additional shaping, either.
