Title: Around MY campfire!
Post by: Stringman on January 13, 2016, 12:36:38 pm: Made this camp chair from some rough cut, streaky Osage I had off my grampa's farm. I think this is gonna be a favorite for some time. Wish it would keep the color, but either way I'm pleased.

Post by: Dakota Kid on January 13, 2016, 02:00:54 pm: They make a UV clearcoat called frog juice(2 frogs per can :laugh:) for use in the sign industry. I'm guessing that might be your best best at making the color last.

Nice chair by the way. It's almost to pretty to put your a$$ on.

Post by: Stringman on January 13, 2016, 02:06:55 pm: (way to go, Chris! Now everyone's talking about my butt) ??? >:D

"Frog juice" huh.. I'll have to look into that. Thanks DK.

JW, not sure about the full draw. With the full weight of my rear, I still can't get a floor tiller on it. Gonna need to work up to that...

Post by: Wolf Watcher on January 14, 2016, 04:15:12 am: Beautiful chair! I met a fellow at a knapping in Washington years ago that had a chair built like that. I don't remember his name, but he was good at making large obsidian spalls. I did not know that yellow wood could have such fantastic grain! Joe
Title: Re: Around MY campfire!
Post by: Stringman on January 14, 2016, 08:22:43 am: It's a fairly common style, and very easy to make. The wood certainly sets it apart!

Post by: BowEd on January 14, 2016, 08:33:54 am: I like it.Beautiful grain.That one will last 75 years for sure.Don't know if I'd care to tote it a couple miles for a walk in rendezvous though.
