Built camera years ago as a school project. Tripod was added years later. Consists mostly of cherry and walnut, with a touch of ebony detailing. Rear door swivels on wooden hinge with cabinet space inside. Modeled after my old Pentax ME Super, a great camera once upon a time.

Lar this is done in the style of Livio De Marchi of Venice.

I can just imagine geologist coming across this in a dig some time in the distant future and being totally confused about how the technology worked. LOL

Very nicely done. Welcome to LJ’s.

Back up on the opening page. The hinge detail is incredible, heck, all of the workmanship is outstanding.
