Here are the rustic chairs in their new home.
I was asked to rebuild some rustic chairs for the owner of an organic garden in Nuhaka. The owners host regular garden tours through their flower and vegetable gardens. They have places to sit all through the paths and the chairs have been there since the early 90's.
When I went to pick them up to put on my truck, they fell apart, rotten from years of sitting beneath dripping trees in shaded nooks.
So I salvaged what I could - a plank here and gnarly bit there and added a ton of Totara fence battens and posts. They look great.

I also built a very upright pallet chair for a nook in an overgrown garden area. It has since been painted blue... image to come.
loving the ugly beautiful...and they are sooo solid! Awesome re-use of wood that not only had a whole working life as fencing, but now is going to give pleasure in the form of function and beauty in it's retirement! Love it!!
