That's amazing! Looks just like my aunt Mabel

😂

What technique?
-
He finds patterns and cuts the wood with a scroll saw.
-
-
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.
-
OK, wood. I think that answers the core of the question.
-

-
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.
-
Very impressive!
-
ol' timer wood workers using a scroll saw is a thing of wonder to behold.
-
Wow, this is woodwork? The fit is amazing, I thought it must be clay or something!
-
-
-
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.

98 in unbelievably old for a butterfly, this has to be a world record!
-
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.
-
Awesome!
-
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.
-
Wow, what are the dimensions roughly?
-
Oooh, intarsia. Looks great!
-
I'm also going to be crafting for money if I live to 98.
'murica.
-
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.
-
-
wow, gorgeous... I wish I can get to that skill level, or to 98 hehehe
-
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...
-
Tell us it's a cake!
-
Great job pops!
-
Wow, that's awesome! 👍
-
Wow, he should have found time to work on something else meanwhile.
-
Well, he has a new girlfriend, so....
