Uwharrie Yellow Pine
About Uwharrie and Southern Yellow Pine
Uwharrie Chairs are crafted of solid, kiln dried pressure treated pine,
the material of choice for outdoor deck construction. Insect and rot
resistant, the furniture requires no additional protection from
exposure to weather. This is why it is possible to distress the finish
on Uwharrie Chairs, giving them the appearance of time-worn antiques.
You should expect to see some additional loss of paint and some
surface cracking; exposed wood will eventually turn dark; the wood will
even warp slightly from time to time. This makes each piece unique, and
slightly different from the rest. Even as nature matures your
furniture, the wood and the product will remain structurally sound for
years to come.

How the Uwharrie Finish Will Age
The wood used in Uwharrie Chairs requires no additional protection from exposure to weather. This is why it's possible to distress the finish, giving them the appearance of time-worn antiques. As Uwharrie products age naturally, their rustic character will be enhanced. You should expect to see some additional loss of paint 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.

Uwharrie Chairs
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.
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.
The Original Uwharrie Chair was created to offer not only eco-friendly
all-weather seating, but classically styled, comfortably designed
outdoor accents. With their rugged good looks and solid construction,
the chairs and their companion pieces provide a balance of aesthetic
charm and lifestyle integrity.
