Nice balance job. The Villain looks lighter. It should darken to match in time. Check with MW too. He may have used something else on the scales.

Here are some WIP pics for a wedding gift. Made from Q-cobolo.

Do you find it offensive or funny for a wedding gift?

I haven't started the ball yet. It's still lumpy. Just a rough cut out.
The chain is much more tedious. I've been working on it for about 6 hours spread over two days. I anticipate another 3-4 hours tomorrow. Assuming my hands recover. I don't know if you know this, but cocobolo is fucking hard wood.

Every so often, something you make blows my mind. It's even more amazing if you think about the care required to separate the links, and the fact that you do this without any jigs.
Regardless of whether or not you think it's funny (my wife didn't, but so what), this is a milestone.
I always remember the first time I saw pictures of the first Villain, and Boba Fett MkI, and five pages in two days of people saying: Take My Money!
Even then, your skill was obvious ("I have a little artistic skill", he said...), and you continue to impress.

I think it's hilarious but then I have a weird sense of humor for a girl ...besides something you took that long and that much patience to make is way better than anything you can buy in a store...I'd treasure it ...right after I hit you over the head with it :yay2:
