    Is there a back story for that thing? That's pretty impressive for sure.

    For a wooden chair it actually looks comfortable.

    Beetle-Kill I don't remember. I'll see if I can look it up again. If so, I'll post the story.

    I saw this in the lobby of a hotel in the Galapagos on a trip a few years ago. It is one piece, it was supposed to be a life size sculpture of
    Lonesome George - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Unfortunately the artist made a fatal mistake while carving, ended up cutting the tail end flat and turned it into a chair, now used by the hotel for the guest computer.
