The glue and sawdust mix didn’t look great so I went with this instead

So a friend of mine got divorced a while back, since then, instead of Gary, I call him Gary 2.0, so how about a little something to hold a cocktail?

Started this yesterday

This morning I thought I would go ahead and sand it to 3000 grit, put on some wax and it’s all ready for his birthday

IMG_1409IMG_1410IMG_1411

Unboxed the airbrush, put it all together, I was going to start practicing on something but decided what the heck let’s just get going

IMG_1403IMG_1404IMG_1406IMG_1407IMG_1405

Base went OK, airbrush paints in a very fine mist and seems to take quite a few coats, I assume you should put on one light coat and then repeat the process 10 more times with some dry time between coats, but, I wanting to get this going I just went around and around and around and around and around

Now that's the picture I've been waiting for.

Job good.

So cool that is!

Nicely done, and to catch up.. nice beer pics, nice frond, great pics of Hawaii...

He is adorable. The light at the base is really a special touch. Your painting just reminded me to use the blue painter's tape when I get to the torches on my current painting. Thank you. Your projects are so much fun to watch. Each step is treasured.

Will- 🙏🏽, finally posted the final photos I did

Mike- 🙏🏽, approved it I’m glad you did

Rum on the- 🙏🏽, glad you stopped by I am

Wendy- 🙏🏽, thank you, kind words you left

So I was looking at my 7 inch Yoda inspiration piece, and noticed he was missing something. I recently broke a paintbrush, so I thought I would get him ready for battle!

Perfect project for that piece of wood. I like hatchets. Love the the paint brush project, looks perfect.

Hi Wendy- thank you.

Great book and movie, thought it would be a fun project despite the fact that my version will be all wood.

FYI:

The tomahawk used by Reece is the WK RnD Axe. It is a collaborative design between Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler and skilled Sayoc Kali martial arts trainer Rafael Kayanan

Double grip handle getting there

Spooky! I like that hatchet too. Even a hard wood like that (walnut?) would be a formidable weapon.

Mike- roger that

Look what I got today:

Is the base of the whale from a golf club? Fun Halloween decorations. I like your spooky ghost. The hatchet sure was made to fit your hand. You have a huge collection on wood! I have a lot to look forward to.
