This patio chair was made from two reclaimed wooden pallets. One with plainsawn pine on top and the other with a particle, OSB, strandboard, or a bunch of mulch glued together. I’m not exactly sure what you call it but it does add some contrast to the chair. It is assembled with exterior screws and wood glue. I then added a red cedar weatherproof outdoor finish. Unfortunately, they don’t make a pallet wood finish. Then I sanded the chair to make it more ‘rustic’ or ‘worn in’ or something to that effect or affect. Furniture and accessories made from reclaimed wood pallets have become all the rage. It is a great idea to reuse discarded wood from an environmental perspective. That of course sounds better than saying you are too lazy or cheap to make that fun trip to Home Depot or Lowes. Where you wander around aimlessly looking for an employee to help you. Then that employee is talking to someone else who is asking an endless stream of questions. Then when the employee finishes and immediately starts to briskly walk away, you are able to stop them and ask them where to find the things you need. However, they have no idea what you are talking about because that is not their department. That is when they instruct you to head ‘that way’ and look for another employee. And so the cycle continues. Then usually on your own, you find what you need. Then you walk a few more miles pushing a big pile of lumber on a poorly designed and maintained metal cart. But, I digress, the design of this reclaimed wood patio chair is based on the ‘Limbert’ chair made during the Arts & Crafts Movement. If you would like to learn more about the Arts & Crafts Movement, you could ‘google’ it (after reading this find blog post) or perhaps hire a ‘history detective’ who will then ‘google’ it for you for a nominal charge. The chair was designed to fit the size and shape of a 19-century European. Therefore it has little use in 21-century America. Unless of course, you happen to be a pre-teen (or to be more politcally correct a “tween”). I don’t see the point in writing anymore about this chair, since I’m sure both of us have more interesting things to do.
