Wagon Wheel Table and Chair

These are very unique pieces of furniture.  It warms my heart that someone build these pieces using items from past and along with preserving history.  The craftsmanship that went to building them is excellent .
The table and chair were made from pieces of a very old wagon wheel using the hub, axial and spokes.  The hub and spokes were put together using wood square nails.  The axial was used to make the chair into a swivel chair.  Upcycling at it's best.

Flat Tire

We received these great products from Flat Tire, 
they are company that makes items out of truck inner tubes and tires.
The uniqueness of recycled tire rubber ensures that each
 product has a one-of-a-kind character, texture and story.
No two items can be identical, making all designs random.
All of the Flat Tire items are made in Milwaukee, WI.
The basket designs are naturally made
from the fibers that are in the tires.
The tote bag is great for gardening
 or caring supplies. 
Pouches have holes at the bottom for proper
 drainage and aeration which makes them
 sustainable for planting on fences, walls and railings.
