a work of art

With such an innovative mind and an eye for art, my brother cleverly recycled materials which he artistically put together and came up with a beautiful chair.   He painstakingly assembled old parts which to some is already useless…..but to him is worth a treasure….

Except from it’s original seat… the headrest is made of a carabao’s yoke.  Yoke? ….it is a wooden piece attached to the back of the head of the carabao (water buffallo) I’ve seen used  by my grandfather when plowing the fields, the back rest was window rod (?) while the footrest is a treadle or pedal of an old sewing machine.  Other parts were salvaged from a truck , a carriage and some I don’t know where it originally came from…..  Whew… hard to describe but you can just figure it out for yourself….

Amazing!  It is one for keeps….and our brod continue to make us proud…
