Set of Chair Carvings (WIP)

Re: Set of Chair Carvings (WIP)

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I just cant seem to get around to finishing them. Worked on them some today but still havent had warm enough weather to stain them. They also need to be sanded with 120 grit paper but the weather has been too wet to do them. Hopefully they will be finished this week and I will post the pictures. Havent started the table yet may have to wait until spring.

Wow Colin!
Those are great. Might have to try that idea myself. The faces look terrific. Are they Canadian spirits? Eh?
Cheers

I like those chairs - they're really neat, especially when the four of them are together. Great job.

Hi Colin

Chairs look fantastic! And I bet the addition of a table will really make it a really great set!

Re: Set of Chair Carvings (WIP)

Sorry Ron,
These are four eastern white cedar chairs the backs are about four feet tall and about 15 inches wide. The seat is like a stool with no sides. Each face is carved into the back of the chair where your back would rest if you were sitting down. One woodspirit has a long beard and moustache that flow evenly to both sides of his mouth. The next two have mostaches that look like they are blowing in the wind one left and the other right. The other has a short even mostache with a long beard with turned up eye brows. Hope this has explained them for you if not let me know and I will explain further.

Kathy and Tony,
I did finish that one a long time ago and now have four more on the go. I did update the chairs but I have been so busy with commissions that I never did get them finished they are for my deck. I am doing a table as well but havent even started that yet. I hope to have these finished this week and when I do I will post a picture of the finished chairs.
