Gandalf The Wizard Portrait, Lord Of The Rings Fan Art (Laser Cut)

[Artisan Pirate]

Gandalf The Wizard, Fan Art Portrait
This is an H.Botas scroll saw pattern and I converted it in @lightburnsoftware to laser cut from 1/4 inch material from @buildersdiscountcenter on my @toocaa_official 20w Laser Engraver.
The process took over an hour and the piece was very fragile
After it was cleaned up, I stained it with @minwaxusa wood stain and spray painted the backer board with @rustoleum spray paint.
The corner badges are also made from 1/4 inch material
The frame is made from an upcycled 2x4 and was made on my @rikon_powertools table saw and @craftsman router table. It was glued together with @thegorillagluecompany wood glue and then sanded and painted with light brown spray paint.
For the final assembly, I used medium grade CA Glue and Activator from @klingsporswoodworkingshop and after touch ups were done, I gave it several coats of @rustoleum clear gloss for a finish.
I made this for a family friend who is a huge Lord Of The Rings fan. Hope they like it!

Excellent job, I can't get over how well your laser works, being able to cut 1/4 inch wood, RJ
