Uwharrie:
Just south of the nation's furniture capital, High Point, North Carolina, a
small rocky stream meanders through the quiet, rolling countryside. It flows by
old farmsteads and new neighborhoods, dead gold mines and living forests,
eventually becoming the Uwharrie River (pronounced you-WAH-ree). Ultimately, the
water reaches the Uwharrie Mountains, a small range occupied centuries ago by
Native Americans DeSoto called the Suala. The name "Uwharrie'' is
attributed to them, a conclusion supported by references in John Lawson's 1701
journal documenting a visit to "Heighwarrie''.
Today the Uwharrie
Mountains and Uwharrie National Forest are known for their abundance of
wildlife, deep recreational lakes, and peaceful, natural beauty. The name is
synonymous with rustic charm and relaxation, perhaps the best description of the
Original Uwharrie Chair.
About The
Material:
A number of environmental objections plague most outdoor furniture products.
Tropical lumber harvesting devastates rainforests, old growth deforestation
threatens endangered species, and plastics disposal harms the environment.
Whether or not these alarms are overstated, the concerns behind them are valid.
Uwharrie Chair Company offers a simple alternative to imported teak, painted
metal or hardwood, and molded plastic: pressure treated pine.
The wood of choice
for ski lodge decks, marina docks, and landscape walks, treated lumber offers
distinct advantages over other traditional outdoor materials. It is insect and
rot resistant, it may be stained or painted (or left natural), and it's milled
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. Paints used to coat Uwharrie Chair products are latex enamel.
