Iron Man is finished! All scrollsawed, no paint/stain.
Took some photos in the snow and where he will remain on the wall in our Lair.
Made from yellowheart, padauk, holly, wenge, and walnut. Template and inspiration from @cyclocrosscutter.
Boba Fett is complete! It only took ~6 weeks!
When I started this thing, I had no idea Boba would suddenly become big news again (no spoilers, aside from the fact Fett is back, which I think is safe since they’ve announced “The Story of Boba Fett” series). I had just read a really cool panel by @john_cassaday in Marvel Star Wars (2015) and instantly decided it would make for a cool wooden intarsia piece.
I wanted more “comicy” colors in this piece than I can get with natural wood grains, so I dyed the pieces with alcohol dyes. All 270 (!) pieces were cut on scrollsaw from a single storm-felled sycamore branch I picked up nearby.
Note: You can see the entire creation of this piece HERE in my Instagram story highlight.
