Wine Barrel Adirondack Chair

Click on an image to enlarge.

 This chair was constructed using a retired wine barrel from a Northern California winery.  The Oak barrel was originally constructed by Tonnellerie Sirugue in Nuits-St. George, France.  One wine barrel was required for constructing this chair.

The red colors on the wood staves are stains from the red wine making process.  A clear coat sealer has been applied to keep the original colors of the French Oak wood.

We chose the wine barrel as the base materials as a way to recycle and give the barrel new life as it was retired from its wine making services.
