    Media won’t load for me so I’ll just assume it’s a baby.

    I misread that as last creation. I’m so glad I re-read lol

    Absolutely beautiful work!! If my current trajectory is anything to go by, if I make it to 98, I’m pretty sure I won’t have the energy to roll out of bed, let alone craft something so magnificent.

      I’m not sure what kind of wood. There’s a workshop in the complex and he generally picks whatever’s there.

        OK, wood. I think that answers the core of the question.

      He finds patterns and cuts the wood with a scroll saw.

      Yeah, he keeps his scroll saw in his bedroom and tools in the living room.

        ol’ timer wood workers using a scroll saw is a thing of wonder to behold.

    What stands out to me is the perfection of the symmetry. I know he probably cut the 2 sides together, but there are zero mistakes I can spot.

        It’s as beautiful as it is impressive. I thought it was craft foam sheets until I zoomed in and saw painted woodgrain. I could hardly believe what delicate, soft edges he created with such precision. Truly amazing.

    I’m also going to be crafting for money if I live to 98.

    It almost looks like this would come apart to function as a puzzle :o

      He’s got some kind of backing that keeps it together.
