THE MAKING OF THE 'BLACKBIRD' CHAIR

The chairs are built from pressure treated timber to ensure longevity and rot resistance. The timber comes in rough form and is smoothed and all edges rounded for a lovely tactile finish. Exterior grade glue is used on all surfaces that come into contact with each other and are then screwed with exterior grade screws. The screws are countersunk and then covered with wood plugs that are trimmed flush with the finished surface. This protects the fixings and gives a smooth sleek finish. All plugs are positioned cross grain which means they are less likely to split the surrounding wood when they swell and contract with the changing seasons. All plugs are also glued in place and allowed to set before trimming. This allows them to swell and be trimmed before the final finish is achieved.
The whole chair is sanded to ensure a smooth surface. Then its three coats of your chosen paint. I mainly use the Cuprinol 'Garden Shades' paint range and Protek 'Royal Exterior Finish' Paint range. However, the chairs can be painted in any exterior grade paint of your choice.
The chairs come fully assembled so you can start to enjoy them as soon as you receive them.
The chairs are personally delivered to ensure the chairs arrive in a perfect condition and undamaged.
