Cetol 1 Stain - Natural
One inch thick (also called 5/4) Tree Farmed Cedar.
- Cedar will hold stains and paints much better than a hardwood or pine.
- Moisture resistant Cedar is a swamp wood.

Each back slat is secured by four screws.
- Unlike other builders I always use four screws to prevent racking most will only use two.
- Rock solid even after years of use.
All screw holes are plugged.
- Using matching wooden plugs means that all screw holes are protected.
- You'll never seen any rust because the screws are all sealed.
- There are no entry points for water to enter the wood. This eliminates wood rot. And in turn you'll never get a chair that moves from side to side (also called racking).

Need a little color?

A semi-gloss Sheen in everything from Apple to White. Let me do the hard messy work.
Bright White - paint
The best wood stain on the market.
Three coats of hand rubbed Sikkens Cetol 1 stain. Nothing comes close in durability.
- Sikkens is an award winning outdoor stain sold by Hirshfield's.
- A long lasting oil finish.
- Three coats applied by brush.

Paint vs. Stain - side note.
I still think staining is the best way to go.
Staining will require a top coat ever other year in most cases depending on conditions. (btw I will restain your chairs but you have to get them to my shop.)
Exterior latex paint mfgs are making claims that their products will last from 10 years to forever.
My opinion: Painted chairs will sooner or later peal and crack requiring the chair to be completely striped down and repainted.
Now the good news is that the final verdict is still out. I've had a painted chair in the yard now for a year and it doesn't look that bad. Cherry Red of course!
Only time will tell.

Chair Blog
And how could I forget...you get a chair blog.
While building your chairs you'll get to see them being constructed. Not just canned images but the actual building and wood used in your chairs.
Follow this link to see some of the past Chair Blogs. |
Time to get off the curb or toss those plastic chairs into the recycle bin.

Notes from the shop.
This website took years to develop. Some of the pictures are over ten years old.
Everything you see, including my spelling and rammer mistakes was done by me.
It's really meant to be a learning tool more than a marketing thing.
There's a lot of information so take your time and always remember that there's no such thing as a dumb question. Ok, there is but I'll answer any questions to the best of my ability.
I've always enjoyed making these chairs and I think it shows in my continuing excitement about them.
The chair blogs show that. My customers get to see the chair being built and stained. No one else does that.
By providing high resolution images of the build process they watch their chairs and have direct input to their builder.
I'm not just trying to sell you another chair. Many copy my style but they're years behind in my quality.
I only sell my chairs locally. I think that's important. It puts my name and reputation on the line.
Most of my customers are folks that have seen my chair in someone's backyard or at their work. And yes I do have corporate clients and resort owners that love my work.
I want you to be happy with your choice. More important is that I want you to make an intelligent choice.
If you're happy, I am too.
