Hi:Today I completed the third in a series of wine barrel bar stools for our home. Each is unique, as I made changes to the design, improvising along the way.This chair is 3 shorter than the first two, and utilizes a wine barrel lid for the seat.The arms were made from three laminated strips of stirring sticks found inside the barrel.Over all, the chair is 28 tall at the seat, 19 wide and 19 deep. The feet are 22 apart.I use #12 and #14 screws as fasteners. The chair is finished with Varathane professional satin.All the wood is white oak, with a deep burgundy colour (and fragrance). This wood is a joy to work with.Instead of using a barrel hoop for the foot rest, I chose to use barrel stave sections. They make for a more comfortable foot rest.The chair also has a swivel mechanism, purchased from Lee Valley. Excellent quality swivel.Hope you enjoy the photos.
