Wood Types
Most log bar stools are made of pinewood grown at higher altitudes or cedar wood and are available in many shapes and sizes. The makers of the stool carve the pine logs to make the seats as well as the back of these stools. They use a single piece of pine tree to make the stool.
Pine trees used in making rustic log bar stools include bull, ponderosa as well as the lodge pole pinewood. Removal of the bark after drying naturally gives a natural and gorgeous color to the wood.
The pine used in making the stool is from a dead standing tree. Thus, the wood has natural checking. This makes the wood beautiful initially and with the passage of time, the wood becomes darker in color.
Wear and tear only adds character to the wood. Some people stain the stools instead of natural aging while some prefer the fresh new look of the pinewood with the finishing of clear lacquer.
The lacquer provides protection from ultra violet light as well as changes in the color. The log barstool is also made of white cedar log. Its color is creamy white and is suitable for many types of home décor. Its surface is smooth making the stool comfortable and durable.
