98 in unbelievably old for a butterfly, this has to be a world record!
Wow, he should have found time to work on something else meanwhile.
Well, he has a new girlfriend, so…
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.
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.
That’s amazing! Looks just like my aunt Mabel
😂
What technique?
He finds patterns and cuts the wood with a scroll saw.
Woah! This is already impressive, now you’re telling us he’s 98?!?
Yeah, he keeps his scroll saw in his bedroom and tools in the living room.
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.
Very impressive!
I’m also going to be crafting for money if I live to 98.
'murica.
Is that wood???
Yes
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.
Awesome!
Wow, what are the dimensions roughly?
Tell us it’s a cake!
Oooh, intarsia. Looks great!
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…
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.
