Smile You're on Wooden Camera

Project by Lar posted 861 days ago 586 views 3 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

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.

No digital capacity, just an ol’ SLR. Should I make a digital?

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