This modern stool is handmade with a solid steel base and reclaimed barn wood swivel top. It's an ideal piece to add a rustic yet modern touch to your kitchen table or island. It's very durable and we've built it to last. The wood top is reclaimed, old Growth Douglas Fir that was salvaged from a project of ours. The building was over 170 Years old. It's very satisfying to use reclaimed wood to produce furniture. Its timeless and unique look and its environmental contribution as a recycled green building material makes the end product special.
