Making Deadpool Out of Wood | Marvel Woodworking Project

I recreated Deadpool comic book art out of natural wood. No paint. No stain. Just amazingly cool, exotic wood species hand cut to form this picture of Deadpool. Each piece of wood was cut using a scroll saw. It took approximately six months to make due to the complexity of the project and tiny details necessary to craft the image. Scroll saw woodworking doesn’t have to be stuffy or involve making something boring. You can have fun making bright, vivid images using contrasting colors, all from natural wood. One of the best parts about scroll sawing is the low barrier to entry. All you really need is a scroll saw and patience to make insanely cool woodworking projects like this.

This artwork of Deadpool came from issue #7 drawn by Gerardo Sandoval and written by Kelly Thompson. Victor Nava & Gerardo Sandoval inked the work and Chris Sotomayor performed colors.

That's a lot of scroll saw action but so worth the result.

[jewdd]

This was phenomenal! From the thickness differences to the sanding technique to meld it together, he actually is about as realistic as one can get with solid wood! Good job 👏🏼

[FullStackWoodworking]

Looks amazing, the level of detail is crazy. Imagine trying to price one of these up for a customer.

[michaellindsay]

Fantastic work! I can understand why it took 2.5 tears

[Ronn]

You must have some incredible patience to work through this work of art. I love how it turned out.

Just found you today. Just awesome. Thank you.

"All I have to do is cut two parallel lines" 😂
I find straight lines to be the absolute hardest cut to make on a scroll saw because any little wiggle is immediately noticeable as opposed to cuts that turn.
Absolutely amazing work!

[spamslamwich]

This is absolutely INSANE. Wild how you can get such detail into a wood only art piece. This need hundreds of millions of views.

[Klipse]

[mantismodels]

Wow, man!! I have some experience with scroll sawing, and I know how difficult it was to pull off this project. The time and dedication that it must have taken is understated! Great work! I hope this earns your channel a ton more subscribers because you deserve it.

I was really hoping this was going up for sale.. Awesome..

You might also consider epoxy, colored in different tones or colors, either to fill in tight spaces or account for difficult colors to find. Also stained glass or stained glass designing practices.

[andrewbalint]

Simply amazing, turned out really good

[williamellis]

Once again you've blown my mind, Billy. I can't even comprehend how to go about doing something like this. Every time I think you've gone way over the edge, you just go farther.
