My second attempt with this type of
chair produced an inside chair with a simpler top design, again finished
in teak oil. The customer bought 5 of these as a set and especially
liked the oversized feature. I call this design the Throne Chair. An
especially robust person is made to feel very comfortable in them with
room to spare. It takes two people to lift a chair. Dimensions are:
-
Seat is approx. 30 inches wide
-
Backrest approx. 32 inches high
-
Top of chair to floor 53 inches
-
Front to back is approx 30 inches deep
-
Total width is approx. 40 inches

As I was experimenting with chair designs I invented
this piece all from red eastern cedar. Originally I had intended to make
this chair for outside use and so later finished it with teak oil. This
picture is the unfinished version. Notice how I cut inside the legs to
expose the red cedar. |

This is the new home for 5 of the throne chairs. They
fit perfectly into any rustic, hunting or western themed home, cabin, or
lodge. |
This bench made for two is framed with natural cedar
logs and has the backrest and seat made from locust wood and is designed
for outside use. Both the cedar and locust wood naturally resist decay,
therefore it will be allowed to age naturally by the sun and elements
which will change the appearance to a naturally weathered grey patina
over time. |

Using the same leg theme I made this bar stool from cedar. I wrapped the
seat with a split of cedar then sanded and rounded the seat smooth. I
made the legs from larger cedar then removed much to reveal the red
heart as the customer was desirous to see the red heart. |
Naturally a coffee table was needed to match the
chairs so I made this one from red cedar as well. I used the same
technique to make the table as the chairs using mortise and tenon
joinery. All joints are secured with waterproof glue and all screws are
either hidden from view underneath or concealed with wood plugs. Teak
oil applied produces a finish soft to the touch. I used half log cedar
to surround the board top. |

This custom created bar measures
approximately 5 feet long by two feet deep and is constructed of
3/4-inch plywood encased in 3/4-inch tongue and groove pine paneling.
The top is made from 1 inch thick yellow pine and is covered with epoxy
resin. The footrest is a split cedar log heart side exposed and turns
the corner in a miter joint. The top edges and side pieces as well as
the braces are made from cedar logs. Shelves in the rear are specially
sized to allow a pony keg. Except for the top, all surfaces are finished
in clear polyurethane. |
