Project Information
The timber was reclaimed from a fence that I helped removed from a farm near Canberra quite a number of years ago. They were the stringers, which hang along the fence between each post. The purpose is to stop the wires twisting around each other when a cow or sheep hits the fence. There were about three each between the posts, so there were a lot of them. Most were only good for the fire place but some were solid enough to be used.
I have made a chair and some went into the bread boards I have posted. And some went into the fire after all. But I had enough to make something and decided if I didn't use them, they would end up 'up in smoke'. So I put aside some other projects and built this chair.
A couple of weeks ago a good friend of mine's brother fell to the black dog. For those unaware to the term, it refers to depression. Andrew has been fighting this beast for as long as I have known him, about 15 years. Well it got too much for him and he took his own life.
This chair is going to my friend Alex, hoping it will provide some peaceful moments for him to remember his brother.
