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.

| Real rustic, branches and all. |
 |
| Some bent wood from one of the original chairs. |
 |
| Totara battens with moss and lichen. |
 |
| #8 wire to hold things together betta! |
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.
