The back and seat are oak decking from a semi trailer. Still need 3 more for a set... I've only got one ass though, so I should be alright until more material comes in.

I have seen that chair before but it had leather straps and electrodes on it.

That's really cool

If you're looking for more decking like that I dropped chunks of it all across the US. Mostly in Wyoming and South Dakota

You shoulda picked it up. It goes for $6 per foot! I don't know what the process for removal looks like, but it arrives to us in plank form, with the heavy bolts zipped off at the bottom. We take a pneumatic punch, lean the plank up, and send those bolts flying across the shop. I've considered setting up a target, but I don't think the boss would approve.

That looks great! Our home here in MT was furnished with all old reclaimed wood. Love the rustic look.

Hmm...

I was going to sell the trailer to some friends for hay storage but it might be worth more to just scrap it. At $6 per foot the decking alone is worth over $1k. Steel's not worth much but there's lots of aluminum in it
