What else can be said about Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters other than UTTERLY AWESOME. One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen was the Foo Fighters playing at Wembley Stadium – it was breathtaking from start to end.
Dave Grohl made Nirvana, Scream, Queens of the Stone Age and the Foo Fighters famous as well as being a great actor and all around really nice dude.
I saw this image of the band online about six months ago and over the next four months created this pattern in my spare time – five minutes here and ten minutes there.
The past Sunday I realized that it was ready for cutting, so I chose a really nice piece of BB Plywood and got to work.
Overall, the piece measures 10×17 inches.
Finish consists of a decent coating of lemon oil and a backing of thick, black felt.
I didn’t make this one with a buyer in mind, nor do I have anyone special in mind to give it to but I’m sure someone will speak up when word gets around that it’s finished. :-)
Oct 15, 2012: Quick update – Within a day this one sold. AND I have orders for two more. :-)
Enjoy!

Never heard of him. But a great representation nonetheless.

Just saw them for the 3rd time and, as usual, they rocked!
Good job.
