The wood I used was a park bench in its last life so had been outside for a long time this left it very damaged so it has been a challenge to work around all the defects some found there way into the finished chair just to add character.
It is booked to appear in two exhibitions over the next few months until then I will have it to refer to as I start on a second chair, again due to the wood I have available there are going to be some changes but I hope the end result will be the same.
