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.

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.
