CustomCask Grandad Adirondack Style Garden/Patio Chair Made From Oak Barrel Staves | With Optional Footstool
Description
Grandad version of my standard Adirondack style garden chair ie a raised & more level seat to assist those with restricted mobility when sitting down & standing up. A garden or patio chair handmade from oak staves from old Scotch whisky casks. It is an Adirondack chair design, with the traditional slatted seat, high splayed back, & broad arms. The natural shape of the barrel staves provide the ideal curved shapes for the seat pad, the splayed back & the arms. Grandad Adirondack design - The seat height at the front (behind the knees) is 40cm, dipping to ~35cm at the rear of the seat. (For comparison the Standard Adirondack design - The seat height at the front (behind the knees) is 33cm, dipping to ~23cm at the rear of the seat. Refer also to the photo that shows both seats in side profile) IMPORTANT These chairs are substantial pieces of furniture & weight approx 20kg each.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Seat depth is ~42cm The back uses full length staves at ~90cm each. A matching footstool is available as an option - please select when ordering The staves are planed to remove the accumulated grime from decades of storing whisky in bonded warehouses around Scotland, then sanded to a smooth finish. Whisky barrel staves tend to have black streaks on them from tannins & interaction with the steel barrel hoops, & some remnants of these are normally left on each stave to recall the character that comes from the old casks. The inside surface of each stave starts out blackened from the traditional charring process associated with Scotch whisky production. Loose charred wood is removed from all staves in the chair. Where the inner stave surface is the visible surface in the chair, such as those being used for the seat & back, these are further sanded to bring out the colour of the underlying oak. (NB the inner surfaces of staves will always be darker in appearance than the outer surface, & will display a variation in colour that is part of the character of the item). Each chair can be finished EITHER with 3 coats of Ronseal Clear Satin Exterior Varnish, to show off the grain of the oak staves OR stained with 3 coats of one of 6 shades
