Chainsaw carved tiki stools

in #art6 years ago

Last summer I was hired by a gentleman's club to replace all their bar stools with tiki stools. The reason, because their patrons are mostly big men, breaking all their stools.
I had to carve some examples for them first, so they could test them. Here's the first 2 prototypes:

I hope this is appropriate and not against Steemit rules/etiquette.
Anyway they didn't want anything flashy or to take the attention off their girls so the rated R one was not picked. Their budget was also a factor. I tried to sell them on the more expensive pieces though. Here's a pic of the finished female tiki stool. I did end up selling it to someone elseIMG_20160507_140253223_HDR.jpg
They also didn't want any color, again to keep the eyes on their girls. So this one was not picked as well

They chose a more basic design based off the tikis already built in to their establishment pictured here

So I had to make one more prototype for them before they said to go ahead.IMG_20170625_111848599_HDR.jpg
Equipped with a seat and backrest on a swivel.

I had to carve 25 of them...

All with different expressions

The first 7 finished, they put them together with their own swivels.

A little gif action for ya, burning with a torch is like sanding. It gets all the burrs and hair-like splinters made by the chainsaw.

Fun stuff, carving for a strip club. I haven't received photos from them yet of the bar with them all setup. But have to return for a meeting with them about some more work.

Sire, you deserve some accolades for this!
By the way, I had an idea and this idea includes you. Could we have a discussion?

Well thank you very much, what's your idea?

I want to have an interview with you for artzone. What do you think?

Sure I'm ok with an interview

That's great!
Thank you sire....
How would the interview be conducted?
Are u on discord?

I am not on discord, time is a factor for me though. Don't have much as it's already difficult juggling business, family and now Steemit in perfect harmony.

Great post and most of all pieces of art you made (thanks to the big men. I wonder what they sit on at home)

Nice, I wish the peeler bars here had cool tiki chairs

That's legit.

I don't know what else to say, really. That's just plain legit. Nice work!
