What did you seal it with?

-- Fingerlakes farming and woodworking.

Thanks Ken, I hope your wine barrel is easier to deal with than this. It was some of the hardest lumber I’ve ever dealt with.

Amos, it has 3 coats of polyurethane.

Well done. I doubt that chair will hang around too long. Someone will get a great addition to their man cave.

Great looking whisky barrel Adirondack!

Bourbon is required to be barreled in new, charred white oak barrels, so most likely this was used at one time to age bourbon. I’ll bet it smells nice, when sipping a fine Kentucky bourbon!

Hey MBD,

Matt
Nice job I guess most of the time was consumed in getting the Whiskey out of the barrel !!
Couldn’t have been too much left though looks like you have done a very well constructed Task.

I hope you sat in it and refelected!

-- Regards Rob

Mean Dean, it was a Jim Beam barrel and I have the lid on a side table on our front porch.

Robert, this chair sat in my shop for about a year and a half, so there were many evenings sitting in that chair with a beverage. Its kinda sad to see it go but I have 3 more barrels at the shop.

IF you were closer; I could help empty some of the barrels!

Neat chair—well done!

-- Wood rescue is good for the environment and me! just rjR

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to help empty any of the barrels but the shop sure did smell good while I was cutting the staves.
