Barber Chairs Refurbished

**rolodave** · 06-29-2015, 06:10 PM

I came across this shop in downtown Racine today. The owner refurbishes chairs and mainly does custom work. Four wooden chairs were just shipped to Dubai for a retro barbershop. I apologize for the pic quality from my phone. The Harley (this is Harley Heaven country) logo washed out. Fellow said he sometimes puts his products on Ebay and gets a lot of response from Australia. There are about 100 chairs currently in the shop. He also does cash registers and barber poles. The pole shown works, lights up and is listed at $350 USD. I did not ask the price of the chair but know it is a custom order.

The shop is:

Couldn't go near that place. Couldn't afford a chair and no place to put it. Gotta love when life is simple.

It is only right that you have a razor, bike and chair that match. This was meant to be.

It was much more impressive than my crappy pic. The fellow I talked to does all the mechanical work and his partner does the leather. It was truly spectacular.

I have seen one with an upholstered Bugs Bunny sitting in it with his paws painted on the arms. Carrot and all. Was sweet!
Guys who are willing to fire up the truck and go get these can get the heavy, unwieldy things cheap.
I had 29 parts each in mine powder coated. Marine stainless hardware from the boat supply.
If they are complete, easy to do. Fun chairs.
