- There is a man living in Ferbane who used to makes chairs from barrells. His name is Dan Guinan. He used to get a barrel and cut it half way down the middle and also down the side with a saw.
When he had that done he used to knock the bottom out of it without breaking it. He used to put the bottom of it in the middle of the barrel.
When he had that done he had to get a flour bag and stuffed it with rags and wool. He used to sew up the bag and then he had a cushion for the Arm Chair. They have one in his house.- Collector
