Note from shop owner My shop is on vacation while I consider whether to continue with Etsy. Etsy's recent policy change toward sellers' is causing this difficult decision.

The quality of the chair is incredible, and the artist was so communicative throughout the process. Really exceptional.

We love our chairs. Well-made and received them in a timely fashion. Dave was great in answering any questions that we had about the chairs and the turnaround time.

Beautifully crafted unique Kentucky stick chairs and the four I ordered perfectly compliment our new fire pit. I really love the walnut stain, the quality, and level of comfort. Despite the slight delay in shipment, we still received them in time for Thanksgiving. David was such a pleasure to work with, quick to respond to my emails, and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Glad I did some research before purchasing and so happy I made the right decision!

I bought one of the Kentucky Stick Chairs for my husband and he loves it. Comfortable, sturdy, and looks great. He uses it every night by our fire pit. KentuckyStickChairs kept me informed during the process and even sent pictures as it was being made. I strongly recommend this seller, and especially this chair!

David does such great work! Beautiful chair. My original vision was for one chair but I could easily talk myself into ordering more! Thanks so much!

Beautiful chair. And I really appreciated the pictures as it progressed from raw boards to finished piece. Perfect fit for my little balcony in the big city.

David kept in contact on the status of the order through delivery. The chairs are everything I wanted in terms of style and craftsmanship. This was a gift for my husband and he loved them just as much as when we saw these in Belize!

Video summary: My chairs sure have been around a lot of fire pits!

Welcome! Come on in! Have a seat!!

These folding lawn chairs are made from yellow pine or red oak and are surprisingly comfortable, very sturdy, and also quite beautiful. They look amazing on a front porch or back deck, and fold so they can be taken to almost any outing. Plus, they're an excellent conversation piece and are sure to grab some attention!

My favorite part in making the chairs is watching the planks of lumber turn into chair pieces, and then those pieces turning into chairs. Each piece of wood has a unique pattern in its grain; I really like opening up the finished chair to see how the patterns turned out.

My chairs had the distinction of being broadcast on national TV - NBC and NBCSN!!
Professional volleyball athletes were resting in them during the broadcasts of the AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) tournaments! Since some of these athletes are going to the 2016 Olympics - I'm able to say that my chairs have had Olympian butts sitting in them - I don't think many woodworkers can make that claim to fame! These tournaments have taken my chairs all over the country; New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, New Orleans, Huntington Beach and Manhattan Beach, CA. and then Chicago.

Also, the Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall in Atlanta bought some for their new outdoor grove. The Ladybird is an upscale restaurant with a relaxed, campground-like feel. The Travel Channel recently filmed a pilot TV show there, so my chairs may be featured in that show, too!

In addition to the AVP and Ladybird restaurant, four of my chairs were purchased by Adobe Systems for their 2015 Adobe MAX conference. Those particular chairs are red and can be seen in my shop video.

I started out making items out of reclaimed wood as a hobby. One of my favorite pieces is a beautiful table that I made for my wife - the top of the table has over 200 intricate pieces and a glass-like epoxy protecting it.

I love making my chairs and being able to make something beautiful and useful for others to enjoy.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
