Wine Barrel Stool

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Wine Barrel StoolSo, here's what's been happening in my shop this week…After cruising the internet for “wine barrel furniture”, I came to the conclusion that I could do that!So I ordered two large wine barrels from a local guy, who delivered them to my door. HEAVY! And made of white oak! Not that expensive, since I can get two of these chairs out of one barrel.A week later I was able to start working on the project. I decided to make a tall stool, bar height, with arms and a swivel action.The staves that came out of the barrel were amazing such high quality, and deep, deep burgundy red. The color had penetrated 1/8 into the wood. The wood was intact, with no signs of deterioration.So I drew up a plan and went to work. And here is the result my first wine barrel chair.The first image shows the chair dry-assembled, before finishing. The foot rail is one of the barrel hoops, cut to size, and finished with automotive hi-temp paint, that was cured in the kitchen stove. I should have smiled for the camera :-)The varigation of color as a result of bevelling and sanding edges is remarkably beautiful.Thanks to all the other wood workers who posted image of their builds so that I could see how they are made. I stand on their shoulders.
