Rocking Chair Made From Horseshoes

Rocking Chair Made From Horseshoes 32-6-8 Before he retired, Larry Thompson had a hobby as a horseshoe farrier. So it was only natural that he developed another unique hobby - making furniture out of horseshoes. Thompson uses horseshoes to make unique rocking chairs, love seats, horseshoe hooks, and more. He recently sent FARM SHOW a photo of a rocking chair made from used horseshoes, which he painted black. "I get used horseshoes from horseshoe farriers that I've known through the years, and I've sold a few items to other people," says Thompson. He says the rocking chair is made from about 65 horseshoes. If he needs to bend a horseshoe, he usually does it with a hammer and anvil. "Most people use a seat pad to make the chair more comfortable," notes Thompson. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Larry Thompson, 2113 E. 13th St., The Dalles, Oregon 97058 (ph 541 298-8863).
