Tyre seat

In the main I think its a great idea and an excellent example of reuse.
Personally, I like the use of sissal (?) around the tire. I’m not fond of the choice of fabric for the seat but I suppose that can be easily changed to the buyer’s choice?
Is there some storage under the seat?

Another thought. One problem for cat owners may be the sissal. Most scratching are made of this stuff and there is a high probability that my cats would be stretching their claws on this.
But therein lies an opportunity. High end cat beds which combine the scratching function of posts.

Hi, thank you for your email. This is my first piece, so I am going to make another today with a storage inside. Of course, I don’t have to use the fabric on the top, there are so many other things I can do. Will post more photos soon.
It can be a problem with cats, but I am going to put a bit of varnish on a top of the sissal rope, SO it should be ok.
