Five More Barrel Chairs For Stone Brewery

Last week I finished up five more barrel chairs for Stone Brewery and they came out great. These barrels were used by the brewery for pretty long time before they gave them to me to turn them into chairs. The great thing about Stone is that they really like to stay Green. By reusing their own barrels it creates a neat story for all the chairs and on the plus side, it makes my job a whole lot easier because I don’t have to hunt down any barrel, ha ha. Three of the barrels originally contained bourbon, which have thicker staves and are charred heavily which creates that great black patina. The other two had white wine that have thinner staves and no burns what so ever. I was pretty excited when I opened up the white wine ones because I always wondered what a clean barrel chair would look like. The light and the dark colors give a great contrast and makes the chairs stand out. With these chairs completed I have now collected a substantial amount of barrel lids and I am now ready start making some coffee tables and side table. The goal is to have a complete set which will be similar to my Adirondack set, that will include four chairs, two ottoman, one coffee table and one side table.
