Side quest. It took me a good 6h of non stop cutting and carving to make this Padauk Wood Neuron. It will be on my website for sale soon. #neurobiology #woodworking

The neuronal bluebird is taking shape! Those small neurons were tough to cut. I will now need to remove the paper I used for the stencils, and start the painting process. A first for me, wish me luck. 🍀 #brain #neuron #art (closeups in comments)

I used a new approach to make the meditation neuron (original design by @theNeuronFamily). It is now made from one block instead of having the hands and legs glued on to the body. The result is way cleaner and has a better finish. Sometimes it’s when you just do things that you ake them better. As @Nike would say, you really got to “just do it”… This piece is a foot tall and was made with cherry wood, naturally orange.
