Rainforest Hideaway - Cape Tribulation bed and breakfast accommodation & sculpture trail in the Daintree rainforest of tropical north Queensland Australia
Moai bar stools in Whet restaurant, Cape Tribulation
Left to right stool 1 to 4, the centre one is not part of the set and not for sale.These barstools were inspired by the ancient Moai statues of remote Easter Island.
They were sculptured in the Daintree by Rob Lapaer from local pencil cedar, using only a chainsaw and a sander.There is currently a total of twentyfive stools available for sale, perfect to give your bar that extra touch that makes it stand out from the other bars.
These bar stools are a solid investment that will last a life time, or longer.
The stools are 80 cm. in heigth, and of varying diametres.
The sizes range from pickupable to ginormous, and the prices from $350.- to $650.-
They are individually sculpted, freehand without exact measurements, so each one is slightly different and unique having its own personality.

Some of these will be even bigger than the ones above!The largest set of six pencil cedar bar stools is currently on loan to restaurant Whet in Cape Tribulation, where you can view them and try them out, as in the above photo.
On the back verandah of Rainforest Hideaway B&B in Cape Tribulation is another set of seven stools available to view, and try out.

Rob usually works in cement and most of the cement sculptures are too big to transport anywhere, but there are usually some smaller ones such as the one below available for sale.
To view Rob's cement sculptures call in to Rainforest Hideaway for a walk along the jungle trails, or click here for an online preview
