-Majora's Mask-
Cut from wood


For my 3D Design class final I decided to create Majora's Mask. The entire thing is made out of red maple, a harder wood. In respect I spent 3 full days working to complete it so that it was finished on "The Final Day". I had a good time making this thing so the three days used was totally worth it.

Here are some pics, because I know you guys like those..


Step 1: Shaping - Had to get the rough shape of the mask cut out of a 2" thick plank of red maple


Had to add an extra bottom piece because the board was not big enough



Step 2: The Spikes - The shaping and placement of the spikes
To keep the spikes stable, I drilled a pair of holes in the mask and each spike then glued them with a dowel
(A dowel is a cylindrical piece of wood with a spiral groove that fits the hole, most stable with wood glue)


Step 3: Painting - I accidental skipped the picture of the spikes being placed, but here's the closest thing to it
The first step of painting. Spikes already layed out and secured. Face penciled out as a reference.


Finished Mask - Fully painted

I think I did an okay job.


I still need to add a color gradient on the tips of the bottom spikes.

Don't put it on, especially if you are a skull kid! :d

Did you listen to "Times End" while making it?


go walk around walmart with it on :D

reogerngeiehrdnf oh my god i am so jealous
i was thinking of doing something like this but then i remembered i cant do any of this

Mute showed me a picture of it yesterday and it looked awesome. It looks even better with those new designs that you added that I didn't see. Great work!


As you guys may know me being a Noßody and all, I have no face so I had to make one...

This is the best thing that's happened all month.

I'm glad to see people enjoy this. It's something I wanted to make for quite some time. I'm glad I was finally able to make it AND get a college grade on it.

I got an A for it.

You should make a mount for it and replace it with random pictures around your house everyday.-


At this point I have two options: I could make it a wall mount or carve the back out to make it a real mask.
Of course, you still wouldn't be able to see with it on. Right now, the back is solid.

I'm leaning toward carving the back out, but I'd need a wood router..
