Limited Edition “Whisky Oak” Rocking Chairs.

These Rocking Chairs are made from Oak that was reclaimed from a Whisky Distillery in Edinburgh. The timber had spent the previous 60 or more years as large 6ft deep, 32,000 litre Blending Vats used in the production of “Highland Queen” Fine Old Scotch Whisky. When the timber came to us it was painted white on one side and stained black on the other due to contact with the whisky. However, once we had dressed the surface of the timber we found that underneath was some of the finest quarter-sawn English Oak we had ever seen. When machining the wood there is still a very strong smell of Whisky!

The photograph to the left shows one of our chairs in front of some of the Oak as it came to us. We have a limited amount of this timber and only expect to be able to produce approximately fifteen Rocking Chairs in total.

The design is based on many traditional Rockers we have seen over the years, which we have adapted to produce an extremely good looking and comfortable chair.
 

The picture on the left shows a Carver version of the same chair.

The price of these chairs in “Whisky Oak” is £975.00. We are happy to produce the same chair in a different timber, such as Ash or new Oak, for £750.00
