Scandinavian Redwood
Our basic chairs are constructed from hand selected redwood. The chairs are built and then treated with Cuprinol wood preservative to extend the life of the chair. They are given two coats of primer and then painted in three coats of your choice of Farrow & Ball colour. Occasionally painting as needed will extend the life of the chairs as will winter storage.
