Title: Orange Crush just finished
Post by: memorylane on February 14, 2009, 06:26:13 pm
Looking for input on this Very COOL Piece. I just finished it and I'm thinking of keeping it for a big show later in the year. All graphics are painted on NO decals except the oranges and I had air brush work added to them but everything else is painted on. The custom base I designed and is solid steel with walnut top and bottom. Wood alone weights 55 pounds. What ya think?

Just the cooler piece, had to sandblase, repair damage but the pictures don't show how nice this piece is. I offered it to Jeff but I need to get more than I expected out of it and he said he would pass. To do another one, it will cost me about $900.00 more to do than this one did. I think I'll keep it for now. Another customer said he would take it now or when I was ready to sell it but no hurry.  Thanks guys.

That looks great! I have seen one in an advertisement a while ago. It was siting on top of the bar and not on a base. I like it on the base. Was that the way it was supposed to be?

I came up with the design of the base, the wood is about 16" round and almost 6" thick at the bottom about 5" thick at the top. This is huge! and powerful looking in person. Finished as nice as a piano. My wife loves this piece and wants me to hold on to it.

  I offered  3000, because it was just a made up fantasy peace, it never was orange crush not embossed, It never had a stand like that , it was made it sit on a counter, It came out very nice, but for more then 3000.00 it should be an original embossed item.
