Salvaged Wood Chair - wood burned for real

This was my first ever salvaged wood burned chair.  I found this little guy hanging out next to the dumpster in the ally behind my house, brought it home and gave it a little TLC.  I sanded the finish off, which was flaking off at the time due to the high humidity of St. Louis summer.  I then left it to sit for a long time until I finally just went for it.  I got my grandfathers old pyrography kit, a kick ass machine which I will show you sometime.  I began burning designs into the chair, and made a new seat for it using some mill scrap, then finished it all with shellac.  One of a kind chairs can be bought starting at $150.
