About Uwharrie Chair Company
Uwharrie (pronounced you-WAH-ree) uses pressure-treated pine in all of their products, providing you with several advantages over other products made of other materials, including other woods. Among these advantages are:
- Insect and rot resistance
- It can be stained or painted (or left natural)
- Comes from a renewable resource: plantation grown southern pine
Uwharrie Chair Company uses heavy, one inch thick premium grade lumber kiln dried after it has been treated and latex enamel paints.
About the Wood and Finish
Uwharrie Chair products require no additional protection from exposure to weather, providing the ability to distress the finish and give each piece the appearance of a time-worn antique. As Uwharrie products age naturally, their rustic character will be enhanced. You should expect to see some additional paint loss and some surface cracking; exposed wood will eventually turn dark. But even as nature matures your furniture, the wood and the product will remain structurally sound for years to come.
