Today is the day! Daniel logan as Boba Fett is finished and ready to be added to the wife's amazing Star Wars burning collection! 9" x 12" Pyrography on American Basswood

Made it through the hair portion of this piece! As I post the new pic I realize I kinda stopped at a real creep point. Sorry for the lack of eyebrows Daniel!

We are in the weeds now! Thick wavy hair....Just give him a buzz cut George! Slow burning but we're getting there!

Started burning in Daniel's neckline, really just avoiding burning his glorious hair but I guess it's time...

It amazes me that I'm still pulling pieces autographed over 5 years ago at Star Wars Celebrations 2017. Daniel Logan signed a blank piece of wood and its finally time to get to burning his image!

Once the backing plate was installed, I could then fill the crack in high end wood putty. Once it dried for 24 hours I was able to burn/darken the putty to match the existing burn. The tricky part was to make the putty look like the wood grain. I slight brush of acrylic did the trick! Tommy's has made the return trip to his momma, as seen in the pic! A huge learning experience that I'm sure will be used again in the future!

The crack continues to grow as the piece dries completely. The first thing to do is stop the "bleeding". Reinforce the back of the piece with 1/4" Luan, using 3/8" screws to secure it all over the back, not just along the crack area. Better to go with over kill than letting crack return! The crack is located between the two pencil marks.

Unfortunately for Tommy, he got caught up in a thunderstorm! You can see that the poor cat didn't stand a chance. The entire insides were soaked and when he started to dry, a dreaded CRACK! Stay tuned for Tommy's continued adventures....

Tommy Cat burning is complete! BUT Tommy's journey isn't quite over yet! Stay tuned for his harrowing next adventure!

Getting closer! His short hair fur demanded that I use very short burns to recreate his look!

Time to stop messing around and start burning the pretty kitty's face!

One more ear down and working through his chest fur!

Tip-toeing around the wonderful world of burning short hair cat fur!
July 6, 2022
One ear done and I moved to his back to get a feel for what technique will show off his short hair
July 4, 2022
Had to start somewhere so I went with dark areas around the ear. Short hair cats don't have the long hair definition that stands out when burning.
July 1, 2022
Started with Tommy's eyes, what I've noticed is that the puppy eyes are inviting but the kitty's eyes are a little judgy.....
June 29, 2022
Cats are still new to me so let's start with a simple contour to determine his shape...
