{"product_id":"beaver-fantasy-storytelling-throne","title":"Beaver Storytelling Chair — Dyfi Osprey Project","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Beaver Storytelling Chair is a hand-carved solid oak throne featuring beavers in intricate detail across the backrest — originally commissioned for the Dyfi Osprey Project in Mid Wales, and one of the most nature-connected chairs we have ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dyfi commission came from a desire to put a chair in the landscape that felt as though it belonged there — something that told the story of beavers returning to Welsh waterways, that children and families could sit in and feel part of that story. The result is a throne that works equally well in a visitor centre, a school, a wetland nature reserve or a woodland classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Built from solid British oak — the same material used for all our wildlife range — and made to last outdoors year-round without special maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal height: 170 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal width: 80 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside seat width (back): 42 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside seat width (front): 50 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height: 46 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-carved beaver backrest\u003c\/strong\u003e — detailed relief carving celebrating one of Britain's most fascinating returning species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid British oak\u003c\/strong\u003e — sustainably sourced, built for outdoor visitor centres, nature reserves and school gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — supplied unvarnished as standard, or add three coats of Epifanes yacht varnish for lasting colour and sheen (+£50)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginally commissioned for the Dyfi Osprey Project\u003c\/strong\u003e — a proven design for conservation and education spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/strong\u003e — where beavers themselves are now back in the landscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can adapt this design for your own conservation project, nature reserve, school or visitor centre — adding your organisation's name, a habitat scene, water plants, or any other wildlife alongside the beaver.

Left natural, an unvarnished piece simply silvers over time and asks nothing of you. A varnished piece keeps its rich sheen for a couple of years; after that the varnish may begin to flake or patch, at which point you can simply re-coat it, or let it weather back to that natural silvery-grey. Either way, your oak is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Unvarnished","offer_id":53500123808119,"sku":"FRD-OTH-WD-1464","price":1970.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57213681566071,"sku":"FRD-OTH-WD-1464","price":2244.54,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/beaver-storytelling-chair-2524113.jpg?v=1759412475","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/beaver-fantasy-storytelling-throne","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
