What technique?
He finds patterns and cuts the wood with a scroll saw.
Woah! This is already impressive, now youβre telling us heβs 98?!?
Yeah, he keeps his scroll saw in his bedroom and tools in the living room.
Very impressive!
Wow, this is woodwork? The fit is amazing, I thought it must be clay or something!
ol' timer wood workers using a scroll saw is a thing of wonder to behold.
That's amazing. What's it made from?
I'm not sure what kind of wood. There's a workshop in the complex and he generally picks whatever's there.
Is that wood???
Yes
98 in unbelievably old for a butterfly, this has to be a world record!
Awesome!
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.
Wow, what are the dimensions roughly?
Oooh, intarsia. Looks great!
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.
How did i know it was gonna be some crazy scroll saw art before even opening this post? old wood workers love a scroll saw...
I'm also going to be crafting for money if I live to 98.
'murica.
Wow, that's awesome! π
Great job pops!
Tell us it's a cake!
