Cathaoir Phortaigh
Bog Chair
At one time Ireland was covered from shore to shore in trees. It was said that a squirrel could travel from branch to branch through all of the four provinces without touching the ground once. After the climate change, the trees died out and the peat bogs predominated. Some of the many trees fell into the bogs and were preserve for eternity. During the 800 years of English rule in Ireland the common Irish were forbidden to cut any standing trees. Ever resourceful, the Irish turned to the trees in the peat bogs (commonly known as bog oak) for their furniture.

Cathaoir Shúgáin
Súgán Chair
Súgán (pronounced sue-gone) means straw rope in Gaelic. This is a popular seat covering found in all four provinces of Ireland. The weave used here is common among the chairs in Connemara.

Like the súgán chair, these stools are woven in the Irish tradition of Connemara.

These stools may be found in many of the pubs in Ireland. The hand hold cut into the top of the seat are used so that the stool may be quickly grabbed and moved closer to friends. Also, after-hours the barkeep can grab the stools and put them up onto the tables for a quick sweep up of the floor.

Porch Swing
While the swing is not strictly Celtic, I made this for our porch and I thought other people might like it as well. It is made of white oak for durability. The supports are made in the bentwood style so that it is lighter than the porch swings you typically can see while still providing a strong swing.
