FontFollowing up on his geek-erific Star Trek Enterprise coffee table, carpenter Barry Shields has created a Star Wars X-Wing fighter model.
"I noticed that no one has done an X-Wing coffee table so I thought I would give it a shot," Shields, of Sevierville, Tenn., said via email. "It took me nearly 6 months to carve it out and completely finish it."
The ship and base are made from poplar, pine and black walnut wood. The top and bottom half are bolted together, and the front has three points of support contact with the glass, Shields said.
He's asking $5,500. "I know that's a lot of money but I did the math and it worked out to be about $14.00 per hour," he wrote.
No word on whether Shields will create a "Battle Damaged" model like the one I had as a kid.
