Chainsaw carved tiki stools

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.
