    That's beautiful. Real talk, would you ever consider making these replicas to sell them? It turned out amazing, and I don't have either the tools or the skills for a project like this.

    Ahh a chisel... Why didnt i think of that.
    Mine wont be quite as functional as its going to be made from a piece of bark that miraculously broke off in a deku shield shape while i was chainsawing logs. Just gonna use table top epoxy to solidify it.
    Its one in a million.. Seemed like a sign from wise owl.

    Looks amazing. What kind of tree did you Get the bark from? And are you going to seal it with anything?

    • @KyleMerriman
      @KyleMerriman  Před 3 lety

      The bark is from a piece of Douglas Fir. I've always felt like the Deku Tree was a giant oak, but those are hard to come by in Western Canada. I decided against any kind of finish because I wanted it to look as natural as possible, but as it ages I might reconsider that if it starts to fade and lose its colour.

      Surfing 10/10 if you have little Kokiri sized feet. Modern science tells us that laser beams are nothing more than long, skinny fire, so I wouldn't recommend it.
